THE ORCHID REVIEW. 319 
At the meeting held on September 11th, Orchids were rather more 
numerous than at the previous one, and three First-class Certificates were 
awarded, one to an exceptionally brilliant Cattleya shown by Mr. Statter, 
and another, singularly enough, to the old Renanthera coccinea. 
T. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester (gr. Mr. R. Johnson), 
staged a choice group, to which a Silver Banksian Medal was awarded. The 
gem of the collection was the superb Cattleya Warscewiczii, Countess of 
Derby, which received a First-class Certificate. The sepals and petals were 
pure white, but the lip very brilliantly coloured. It is a magnificent form. 
The splendid C. x Hardyana Statteriana was also exhibited, C. Dowiana 
aurea, C. Leopoldi, C. Victoria-Regina, C. granulosa, C. x Minucia, which 
received an Award of Merit, Lzlio-cattleya x elegans blenheimensis, Cypri- 
pedium x Numa, and C. x excellens, which was described at p- 275 of our 
last number. 
R. I. Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell (gr. Mr. Chapman), 
also received a Silver Banksian Medal for an interesting group, in which 
Cypripediums especially were well represented. The best of them was C. 
x Nandii, a beautiful hybrid derived from C. callosum 2 and C. x Tautzi- 
anum @, to which an Award of Merit was given. It most resembled the 
last named, the flower being white flushed and spotted with rose, with a little 
bright green at the base of the dorsal sepal. Cypripedium x Charles 
Canham with eight flowers, C. x Indr (callosum x villosum), C. x Eyer- 
mani and Diana, C. x Io grande, C. enfieldense Hebe (Volonteanum x 
Lawrenceanum). Lelia pumila delicata, with lavender-purple sepals and 
petals and a pale lip, also received an Award of Merit, and Pleurothallis 
picta a Botanical Certificate. The group also included Cattleya Dowiana 
aurea, C. Aclandiz, Saccolabium Blumei, Vanda tricolor, Masdevallia x 
Measuresiana, and Pleurothallis picta, which last received a Botanical 
Certificate. 
Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. W. H. White), 
exhibited the pretty Odontoglossum x aspersum roseum, its flowers tinted 
with purplish rose, and cut flowers of the fragrant Cattleya Gaskelliana 
albens, each of which received an Award of Merit. 
M. Jules Hye-Leysen, Coupure, Gand, received a First-class Certificate 
for a beautiful hybrid Cypripedium obtained from C. barbatum 2? and C. 
bellatulum Marie 3, under the name of C. x Charles Richman. 
J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., Glebelands, South Woodford, Essex (gr. Mr. 
Davies), showed a very large-flowered Cypripedium Charlesworthii, a fine 
specimen of Cattleya Loddigesii with over thirty flowers and buds, and 
flowers of Cattleya Dowiana aurea and C. Leopoldi. 
F. Hardy, Esq., Tyntesfield, Ashton-on-Mersey (gr. Mr. Safford), sent a 
richly coloured Cattleya Triane, and a form of Odontoglossum x Cora- 
dinei.
