186 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Bush Hill Park, Enfield, exhibited a hand- 
some group, containing some good Odontoglossum crispum, Lelia pur- 
purata, Cattleya Mendelii and others, Cypripedium Rothschildianum, Vanda 
teres candida, Bulbophyllum claptonense, a pretty species near B. Lobbii, 
&c. A Silver Banksian Medal was awarded. 
Messrs. Linden, L’Horticulture Internationale, Brussels, sent a fine 
group of cut spikes of Odontoglossum crispum and Miltonia vexillaria, a 
branched spike of the latter being exceptionally fine. 
Mr. John Robson, Bowdon, Cheshire, sent a pretty Odontoglossum 
called O. X Rochfordianum, a supposed natural hybrid between O. crispum 
and Hunnewellianum, and thus apparently a form of O. x Adriane. 
THE TEMPLE SHOW. 
THE great annual show of the Royal Horticultural Society was held in the 
Temple Gardens, Thames Enbankment, on May 25th, 26th, and 27th, and 
being favoured with fine weather, brought together a magnificent display of 
plants anda large number of visitors, we believe quite up to the average of 
preceding years. Orchids were exhibited in large numbers and excellent 
quality, the display in this department, at least, being much finer than at 
Ghent. The arrangement was similar to that of previous years, and, as 
usual, some of the groups would have been more effective could a little more 
space have been devoted to them. 
The premier group was certainly that staged by Sir Trevor Lawrence, 
Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. White), to which a Gold Medal was 
deservedly awarded. It occupied a space with a frontage of 25 feet, and 
contained a rich assortment of nearly all the showy Orchids of the season, 
together with many botanical gems, and the whole very tastefully arranged. 
Among those specially noted, we may mention a fine Cattleya Skinneri alba, 
C. intermedia Parthenia, C. Mossize Wageneri, C. Lawrenceana, and many 
other fine Cattleyas, the curious Schomburgkia tibicinis with a long spike, 
the handsome Epiphronitis x Veitchii with six spikes, Aérides crispum, 
Miltonia vexillaria in excellent examples, a fine clump of Macodes petola 
under a bell glass, the violet-purple Dendrobium Victoria-Regine, D. 
O’Brienianum striatum, D. Parishii albeus, and the rare D. Hughii, 
Acacallis cyanea, the tiny Masdevallia O’Brieniana, a well-flowered M. rosea, 
M. Arminii, M. caudata xanthocorys, the very distinct M. pachyura, and 
the handsome M. x Shuttryana Chamberlainii, the brilliant Habenaria 
thochila, the rich crimson Renanthera Imschootiana, Epidendrum 
glumaceum, the scarlet E. Schomburgkii, E. Endresii, E. x Endresio-
