THE ORCHID REVIEW. 141 
O X Humeanum splendens, O. Rossii majus profusely flowered, some good 
O. Pescatorei, triumphans, X Andersonianum and X Ruckerianum, also 
Miltonia Roezlii (formerly called Odontoglossum) with ro spikes. 
For 15 Odontoglossums, limited to Amateurs, M. Metdepenningen was 
awarded the first prize, the group containing some good O. crispum, 
Pescatorei, Rossii majus, gloriosum, X Andersonianum, &c. 
This concludes the competitive classes, and it will be seen that in many 
cases only one group put in an appearance. It is very curious that classes 
for the best Aérides, Angraecum, Anguloa, Calanthe, Coelogyne, Cymbidium, 
Lycaste, Masdevallia, Miltonia, Phalenopsis, Saccolabium, Sobralia, Stan- 
hopea, Trichopilia, Vanda, and Zygopetalum, not to mention others, should 
all have failed to produce an exhibit. A Gold Medal offered for the best 
Orchid-house also failed to stimulate competition. 
A Special prize, consisting of a Silver Medal, was awarded to M. J. 
Buyssens, of Paris, for water-colour drawings of Orchids, and to Messrs. 
Cogniaux and Goossens for their Dictionnaire Iconographique des Orchidées. 
Messrs. Linden, of Brussels, exhibited a fine group of plants in memory 
of the late Jean Linden, which included the following Orchids originally 
discovered or introduced by him: Cattleya Triane, Masdevallia coccinea, 
Odontoglossum luteopurpureum, O. odoratum, O. Pescatorei, O. trium- 
phans, Oncidium Phaleznopsis, and Uropedium Lindeni. 
M. Ch. Maron, of Brunoy, Paris, sent a most interesting group, consisting 
of Lelio-cattleya x Berthe Fournier (L.-c. X elegans X C. aurea) with a 
spike of yellowish-rose flowers not fully expanded, three plants of 1. X 
intermedio-flava, a very distinct and pretty hybrid, and about a dozen plants 
of Cattleya X Louis Chaton (Triane xX Lawrenceana) a very brilliant 
hybrid most like the latter. 
M. P. Langhe-Vervaene, of Brussels, sent a group of five fine plants of 
Oncidium sarcodes, with spikes four to five feet high. They were grown 
in leaf-mould, and potted like an ordinary plant with a few crocks at the 
bottom of the pot, and watered freely when growing, but afterwards kept 
rather dry. 
M. A. Van Beerlere, of Ghent, staged a small group of Odontoglossum 
crispum, excellent both for quality and culture, and a very handsome O. X 
Ruckerianum. | 
Carl Lachner, Berlin, showed Cypripedium villosum variegatum, the 
leaves being irregularly banded with white. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans and Bruges, exhibited Odonto- 
glossum crispum Roi Leopold, a very beautiful form with cream and white 
flowers tinged with rose, and bearing numerous small reddish-brown spots 
all over; Lycaste Skinneri Baroness Schroder, with delicate blush sepals, a 
white lip, and petals marbled with purple, six well-grown L, 5. alba, and
