THE ORCHID REVIEW. 155 
Mendelii Dorothy Gilmore, a very fine form with exceptionally dark lip 
(A.M.), C. Mossie, and Cypripedium X Schroedere. 
His Grace the Duke of Westminster, Eaton Hall, Cheshire (gr. Mr. 
Barnes), sent a flower spike of Odontoglossum Pescatorei Duchess of 
Westminster, a flower of perfect form, good size, and profusely spotted with 
dark purple. The Committee were of the unanimous opinion that had the 
plant been shown a First-class Certificate would have been awarded, but 
one of the rules of the Society is that flowers be not adjudicated upon unless 
the Committee are of opinion that it would have been risky to bring the 
plant. 
James Cypher, Cheltenham, showed a very fine form of 
Odontoglossum crispum named Cypherii. The flower is full and of good 
size, with large dark maroon blotches on the sepals and numerous small 
specks or splashes of the same colour clustered about the centre of the 
petals. It is very distinct, and was deservedly awarded a First-class 
Certificate. 
Messrs. J. Veitch and Sons, Chelsea, showed Cattleya X Philo, 
C. Schroeder amabilis, a large well-shaped flower with well-opened and 
dark yellow-throated labellum (A.M.), Epiphronitis x Veitchii (F-c.C.), 
Lelio-cattleya x Ascania superba (A.M.), L.-c. X Wellsiana, Epidendrum 
x elegantulum, Zygopetalum X Perrenoudi, with very dark lip, but not so 
good in size as we have seen it (A.M.), and Lelia X Latona, of a very 
effective rich terra cotta in colour (A.M.)._ This exhibitor also staged a very 
effective group, to which a vote of thanks was awarded. 
Messrs. Linden, Brussels, showed a very fine lot of Odontoglossums, the 
best being O. x Wilckeanum Lindeni, an excellent form with rich dark spots 
(F-c.C.). The same exhibitors also showed O. X W. Princess des 
Canaries, very distinct, the groundwork of the flower being of a vivid yellow 
colour (A.M.), O. crispum Princess Clementine (A.M.), O. X Ruckeri 
lilacina, a very distinct and pretty pink form with dark spotting (A.M.), 
O. xX versicolor, natural hybrid (A.M.), O. Pescatorei, and O. X Wilckeanum 
Schusterianum. 
Mr. John Robson, Altrincham, showed Cattleya Mendelii and three 
plants of Odontoglossum crispum. 
H. Greenwood, Esq.; Haslingden, showed a small group, which received 
a vote of thanks.
