others, the handsome Bollea Lalindei, Epidendrum trachychilum, the pretty 
little Angraecum distichum, A. Scottianum, and other interesting things. A 
Botanical Certificate was given to Eria ornata, a large species, having an 
erect inflorescence of brownish woolly flowers, with some crimson markings 
on the lip. 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Haywards Heath, staged a choice little 
group, including a fine specimen of Chysis levis, a well-bloomed Oncidium 
trulliferum, a good plant. of O. uniflorum, Catasetum Bungerothii, 
Octomeria diaphana, and a pretty secondary hybrid of Cattleya Mendelii, 
having blush white flowers with a bright rosy-purple front lobe to the lip. 
Messrs. J. and A. McBean, Cooksbridge, sent a group of well-grown 
plants of Odontoglossum crispum, the centre plant being a particularly fine 
form, having large, very round white flowers, with clusters of red-brown 
spots on the sepals. 
M. Maurice Mertens, Ghent, sent a small group of hybrid Odonto- 
glossums, including some good blotched forms. 
At the meeting held on August 17th there was a fine display of Orchids, 
including a very beautiful group of Disa grandiflora, and the awards 
consisted of five medals, three First-class Certificates, four Awards of Merit, 
and a Cultural Commendation. 
Mrs. Bischoffscheim, Warren House, Stanmore (gr. Mr. Taylor), staged 
a very beautiful group of Disa grandiflora, consisting of some 42 plants, the 
best about four feet high, and bearing seven flowers, while two others bore 
six, and several five each. The foliage was dark green and perfect, and the 
flowers varied greatly from orange-scarlet to bright scarlet, and the lips 
from white to light yellow, with the usual markings. Scarcely any two 
were alike in colour. The species is often found difficult to grow, but these 
were excellent, and gained the award of a Silver-gilt Flora Medal. 
H, S. Goodson, Esq., Fairlawn, Putney (gr. Mr. Day), sent a choice 
little group, which gained a Silver Banksian Medal. It contained the 
distinct Brassolelia Thwaitesii (L. grandiflora x B. Digbyana), a fine 
Cypripedium X Lairessei with two scapes, each bearing three fine flowers, 
C. X H. S. Goodson, Rodriguezia secunda, five plants of Miltonia Roezlii 
alba, Cattleya x Pittiana Herberti, C. x Atalanta illuminata, with three 
others, which gained special awards. A First-class Certificate was given to 
Odontoglossum xX Goodsoni (Uroskinneri x. Pescatorei Charlesworthii), a 
handsome thing, showing much of the Uroskinneri habit, and the flowers 
white, heavily blotched with dark red-purple, except near the margin of the 
nearly circular front lobe of the lip. An Award of Merit was given to 
Leliocattleya Black Prince (L.-c. bletchleyensis x C. x Hardyana), having
