Cattleya labiata, Lelia autumnalis, Acampe papillosa, Odontoglossum

Dendrobium Phalznopsis. 
R. J. Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell (gr. Mr.

excellent condition, to which an Award of Merit was given. 
Sir Frederick Wigan, Clare Lawn, East Sheen (gr. Mr. Young), also 
received an Award of Merit for Cattleya Bowringiana Lady Wigan, a very 
fine form with lilac flowers, and a zone of deep claret-purple on the disc of 
the lip, the colour outside this being light purple. 
Captain Holford, Westonbirt, Tilbury (gr. Mr. Chapman), showed a fine 
form of Cypripedium xX Statterianum (Spicerianum X vexillarium) in which

Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Royal Exotic Nursery, Chelsea, staged

obtained from Lelia Perrinii as the seed parent, and another from Cattleya 
Bowringiana being particularly interesting. The former included Lelio- 
cattleya X Decia (pollen parent C. Dowiana), L.-c. x Lady Rothschild 
(C. Warscewiczii ¢), L.-c. X Semiramis (C. Gaskelliana ¢), and L.-c. X

maxima 3), C. X Mantinii (C. Dowiana 3), C. X Portia (C. labiata $) 
and C. X Wendlandiana (C. Warscewiczii ¢). In each case the influence 
of the seed-bearer was very strongly marked. Other hybrids shown were 
L.tc. X Nysa superba, the very distinct L.-c. X Ascania, L.-c. X callisto- 
glossaignescens, Lelia x splendens, Masdevallia x Imogen (Schlimii 2 xX
