ORCHIDS AT THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL

AT the meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society held at the Drill Hall,

interesting Orchids were staged, though the exhibits were less numerous 
than usual. 
S. Courtauld, Esq., Bocking Place, Braintree (gr. Mr. A. Wright), 
contributed a choice little group, three of the plants each receiving a 
Cultural Commendation. These were Masdevallia rosea, a beautiful speci- 
men bearing between seventy and eighty flowers; Ccelogyne Sanderiana, 
with two fine spikes of flowers and three more in bud; and Nanodes 
Meduse, a vigorous and well-flowered plant. Masdevallia x Kimballiana, 
a pretty orange-flowered hybrid, received an Award of Merit, while 
Botanical Certificates were awarded to three others, namely, the pretty 
little Ccelogyne odoratissima, Masdevallia cucullata, and Scaphosepalum 
gibberosum. The quaint little Masdevallia O’Brieniana was also included 
in the group.
