insigne Sanderz). Among the species were some good forms of Cattleya 
labiata, C. Dowiana aurea, C. Bowringiana, one truss bearing as many as 
nineteen flowers, Dendrobium atroviolaceum, D. bracteatum album, Brassia 
Lawrenceanalongissima, Pleione precox, a fine tuft of the pretty little Pleuro- 
thallis lateritia from Costa Rica, with brick-red flowers, Vanda Kimballiana, 
Catasetum fimbriatum, the graceful Ionopsis paniculata, Ceelogyne Veitch- 
iana, the handsome Oncidium spilopterum, O. Forbesii, O. pratextum, O. 
varicosum, the remarkable O. dasytyle whose crest closely resembles a small 
black beetle, examples of Cypripedium Charlesworthii, and the two hand- 
some albinos C. insigne Sandere and C. Lawrenceanum Hyeanum. The 
two latter were under bell glasses, together with a flower of the typical form 
for comparison, forming interesting features in a very striking group. 
Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, exhibited a plant of the hand- 
some Cymbidium Tracyanum, Cypripedium Xx Jensenianum (hirsutissimum 
X vexillarium), and the curious Denbrobium chloropterum (Rchb. f. & S. 
Moore) a New Guinea species allied to D. atroviolaceum but having green 
flowers with some dusky markings on the lip. A Botanical Certificate was 
awarded to the latter. 
Mr. James Douglas, Edenside, Great Bookham, showed a nice group of 
fifteen cut racemes of Cattleya labiata, showing the range of variation which 
occurs in this species in a very interesting way. A Bronze Banksian Medal 
was awarded.
