THE ORCHID REVIEW. 139 
Memorial Medal was offered, which was unanimously awarded to M. 
Metdepenningen, of Ghent (the only exhibibitor), for a fine group, 
containing excellent examples of Trichopilia suavis, Oncidium sarcodes, 
Masdevallia ignea, Odontoglossum Xx Andersonianum, O. X Ruckerianum, 
Cypripedium Chamberlainianum, C. Lawrenceanum. and other good 
things. 
For the most complete collection, limited to a single example of each 
species, M. A. Van Imschoot, of Mont-St-Amand, was the only exhibitor, 
but was unanimously awarded the Gold Medal for a group of ninety 
. different kinds, including examples of most of those previously mentioned, 
together with numerous botanical and other rarities, as Dendrobium 
cymbidioides with eleven racemes, D. Kingianum, D. Devonianum, the 
rare and handsome Lycaste lasioglossa, Ansellia gigantea, Leptotes bicolor, 
Cattleya Lueddemanniana and others, Spiranthes colorata, Odontoglossum 
(Erstedii, Hunnewellianum and others, Eria floribunda, Epidendrum 
Stamfordianum and Cooperianum, Oncidium cheirophorum and incurvum, 
Angraecum sesquipedale, Cochlioda rosea, Masdevallia triangularis and 
amabilis, Phalaenopsis Boxallii and Lueddemanniana, Cypripedium 
tonsum, and others, which we have not space to enumerate, and attracted 
much attention. The group was a specially interesting one. 
For three exotic Orchids remarkable for culture and floriferousness, 
there was only one exhibit, and here the first prize was withheld, the 
second going to M. L. De Smet-Duvivier, for Oncidium sarcodes with five 
branching spikes, Odontoglossom luteopurpureum with two spikes, and 
a fine Cymbidium Lowianum. 
For the best Cattleya the first prize went to M. Langhe-Vervaene, of 
St. Gilles, for a good Cattleya Schroedere with about twenty flowers. 
The class for the best Lelia likewise yielded only a single exhibit, 
a plant of L. Digbyana with one flower, which secured the prize for M. 
Ch. Maron, of Brunoy. 
For the best Dendrobium, M. L. De Smet-Duvivier, of Mont-St-Amand, 
was first, with a good Dendrobium thyrsiflorum, rather past its best. 
For the best Cypripedium, M. J. Moens, of Lede, was first, with a fine 
plant of C. X Annie Measures. 
For the best Odontoglossum crispum the first prize went to M. Metde- 
penningen, of Ghent, with a beautiful example of the large unspotted type. 
For the best Odontoglossum (other than O. crispum) there were two 
competitors, M. Metdepenningen securing the first prize with O. X Wilcke- 
anum Madame Metdepenningen, a compact form with very round, hand- 
somely spotted fiowers. and W. Thompson, Esq., of Stone, the second, 
with O. Hallii bearing nine racemes, a noble specimen which would have 
fared better in a class for good culture.
