THE ORCHID REVIEW. 93 
in great force, specimens being exhibited from about thirty different collec- 
tions in all parts of the kingdom. 
A Silver Flora Medal was awarded the President, Sir Trevor Lawrence, 
Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. W. H. White), for a fine group, in 
which several beautiful hybrid Dendrobiums and Cypripediums were repre- 
sented, in addition to a magnificent specimen of Sophronitis grandiflora, 
Bulbophyllum mandibulare, B. Careyanum, Masdevallia irrorata and M. 
Schroederiana (which appear to be identical), Angrecum odoratissimum, 
Epidendrum x Endresio-Wallisii and Cymbidium eburneum. A Botanical * 
Certificate was granted to the white variety of Dendrobium purpureum, to 
the bristle-lipped Catasetum barbatum spinosum, and to the pretty little 
Masdevallia picturata, with yellow, purple-spotted flowers. 
Mrs. Armstrong, Woodslea, near Brighton (gr. Mr. E. Meachen), exhibited 
what appeared to be Dendrobium x Ainsworthii under the name of D. x 
Armstrongi (D. aureum 2 x D. nobile ccerulescens ae 
Norman C. Cookson, Esq., F.R.H.S., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne (gr. 
Mr. Murray), sent a spike of Calanthe x Wm. Murray, having a deep red- 
purple lip. 
Mr. W. Denning, Hampton, exhibited a good form of Cattleya Perci- 
valiana. 
Mr. J. Fitt, F.R.H.S., Panshanger Gardens, Herts, exhibited a splendid 
specimen of Cypripedium x Germinyanum under the erroneous name of 
C. x Roberti. I believe it is the reverse cross of the original C. x Ger- 
minyanum. 
From the Royal Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Mr. F. W. Moore, 
F.R.H.S., sent flowers of the deep-coloured Vanda tricolor grandiflora, 
and the paler-lipped variety insignis, Lycaste plana, the white-flowered 
Angrecum (Listrostachys) porrigens; and Selenipedium Lindleyanum, with 
three flowers open, and cut from the top of a scape six feet in length. 
A finely-spotted Odontoglossum—supposed to be a natural hybrid—came 
from Lord Haddington’s collection, Prestonkirk, N.B. (gr. Mr. Brotherston). 
E. W. Hamilton, Esq., Charter, Sunninghill, Ascot (gr. Mr. G. F. Cole), 
exhibited a splendid specimen of Dendrobium speciosum, bearing five spikes, 
with an aggregate of about three hundred and fifty creamy flowers, two of 
the spikes arising from one sheath. 
Messrs. Heath and Son, Cheltenham, exhibited some Cattleya Triane 
Ernesti, Cypripedium concolor, and a batch of seedling Cypripediums, which 
were to all intents and purposes C. villosum in appearance. 
C. L. N. Ingram, Esq., Godalming (gr. Mr. T. W. Bond), exhibited 
Cypripedium x Captain Lendy (C. Boxalli $ x C. x Charles Canham 4), 
a fine hybrid with a large upper sepal, deep, shining, blackish purple, mottled 
with green, and having a white and rose-flushed margin. It received an 
Award of Merit.
