ardentissimum), a fine hybrid having a whitish ground colour, heavily 
blotched with red-brown over two-thirds of the segments. . 
F. Wellesley, Esq., Westfield, Woking (gr. Mr. Hopkins), sent Cypri- 
pedium X Actzus Golden Gem (C. insigne Chantinii Lindenii X Leeanum 
virginale), a pretty greenish yellow flower with a white apex to the dorsal 
sepal, and C. X The Premier (M. de Curte X Mrs. Wm. Mostyn), a fine 
hybrid having broad yellow petals and lip, tinged and marked with purple- 
brown, and the dorsal sepal emerald green above and heavily blotched with 
dark chocolate below, becoming violet-purple near the white margin. 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Hayward’s Heath, received a Silver Flora 
Medal for a choice group, including a finely blotched Odontoglossum X 
Lambeauianum, ©. X crispo-Harryanum, O. xX Eleanor, and others, Lelia 
anceps waddonensis, L. Gouldiana, the brilliant Odontioda Bohnhofie, 
Trichopilia suavis, Gomesa planifolia, Lzlio-cattleya Lusitania, Cypripedium 
insigne citrinum, C. X Leeanum, and others. A First-class Certificate 
was given to Brasso-cattleya Cliftoni (B.-c. Digbyano-Mossize x C. 
Trianz), a very fine hybrid most like the former, but larger, and the sepals 
and petals delicately tinted with lavender, while the broad lip is white, and 
fringed with some purple markings behind the yellow disc. 
Messrs. Armstrong & Brown, Tunbridge’ Wells, received a Silver Flora 
Medal for a large and handsome group, containing a fine series of Cypri- 
pedium insigne and C. X Leeanum varieties, with numerous other good 
things. An Award of Merit was given to Cypripedium Armstrongii, said to 
have been imported with C. Spicerianum, and most like it, though con- 
siderably enlarged. The dorsal sepal is white, with a small green base, and 
a purple band up the centre, the petals decurved, undulate on the upper 
margin, yellow, with some purple hairs and spotting, and the lip reddish- 
brown in front. ‘It was suggested to be a natural hybrid, but the point is 
not at all clear. 
Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, staged a fine group, to which a 
Silver Flora Medal was given. It contained some good Oncidium varicosum, 
Odontogiossum crispum Belerophon, a handsomely blotched home-raised 
seedling, a good example of Pleurothallis Scapha, a Lelia suspected to be a 
natural hybrid between L. albida‘and L. furfuracea, Bulbophyllum crassipes, 
Cypripedium x Actzus nivalis, C. Charlesworthii Téméraire, a remarkable 
variety, having the dorsal sepal much elongated, and white, veined with 
lilac-rose, and the petals and lip greenish yellow, with some purple veining 
on the former. An Award of Merit was given to C. x Troilus var. Lord 
Nelson (insigne Harefield Hall var. xX nitens), a very fine variety, having 
the dorsal sepal yellowish at the base and white above, and _ heavily 
blotched with purple. 
Messrs. James Cypher & Sons, Cheltenham, were awarded a Silver Flora
