350 THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
broad deep purple front lobe. Also a hybrid Selenipedium allied to S. x 
calurum. 
Mr. J. Prewett, Swiss Nursery, Hammersmith, exhibited a group of 
fine specimens of Dendrobium formosum, tastefully arranged with maiden- 
hair ferns and other plants, and received a Vote of Thanks. 
The next meeting was held at the Drill Hall, James Street, West- 
minster, on October 9th, when there was a fine display of Orchids, but 
owing to the dull and somewhat foggy weather, they were not seen to quite 
the best advantage. 
G. D. Owen, Esq., Selwood, Rotherham (gr. Mr. M. Watts), exhibited 
two magnificent varieties of Cattleya labiata, each of which received a First- 
class Certificate, and a beautiful Lelia preestans alba. C. labiata, Countess 
Fitzwilliam is a beautiful white form with very pale yellow throat to the 
lip and a trace of lilac-blush on the disc. C. 1. Foleyana has blush-white 
sepals and petals and an orange-coloured blotch in the throat with a smaller 
crimson-purple one in front of it. 
T. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester (gr. Mr. Johnson), 
sent some splendid things, notably a four-fiowered inflorescence of the 
magnificent Cattleya x Hardyana, Countess of Derby described on page 
294. And it may here be noted that the sepals and petals are pure white, 
though when just opening they are creamy-white. The lip is remarkably 
like that of C. Warscewiczii, but there is golden veining on the side lobes, 
and the shorter petals, which show the influence of C. Dowiana aurea. A 
fine plant of Cypripedium x memoria-Moensii with three flowers received 
an Award of Merit. C. x gloriosa (C. insigne Chantini 2 x C. x Io 
grande $) and Cattleya x Minucia were also sent. 
Admiral Ralph P. Cator, Hazlewood, King’s Langley, Herts (gr. Mr. G. 
E. Day), received an Award of Merit for Dendrobium Phalznopsis alba, 
which was white with the exception of some rose-purple veining on the 
front of the lip; and a Botanical Certificate for Stauropsis philippinensis 
(see p. 308). Dendrobium bigibbum was also sent. 
Walter Cobb, Esq., Dulcote, Tunbridge Wells, received an Award of 
Merit for Miltonia spectabilis atrorubens, a large form, and probably the 
darkest yet known. 
C. J. Lucas, Esq., Warnham Court, Horsham (gr. Mr. Duncan), sent a 
magnificent Cattleya x Hardyana marmorata, in which the colours of the 
two parents were beautifully blended, and the general effect very charming. 
He also exhibited Cattleya bicolor Wrigleyana, Miltonia spectabilis More- 
liana, Trichopilia fragrans, and Sarcanthus pugioniformis, the latter receiving 
a Botanical Certificate. 
sae Foster Alcock, Esq., Northchurch, Berkhamstead, showed a good 
of tum with twelve flowers.
