having the greater part of each segment bright mauve-purple, and the 
margins white, and prettily toothed; O. x a. concinnum (A.M.), a fine’ 
white heavily blotched with mauve-purple; O. X Vuylstekei exquisitum 
(A.M.), having the flowers mostly red-purple with a white margin, O. X 
bellatulum (from crispum and tripudians); O. X merificum (from crispum 
and sceptrum), and another hybrid of doubtful parentage. 
M. Jules Hye de Crom, Ghent, sent Odontoglossum X amoenum 
(Pescatorei X sceptrum), a very pretty novelty, and O. x ardentissimum 
numosum, a fine white form handsomely marked with mauve purple (Award 
of Merit). : 
M. Draps-Dom, Laeken, Brussels, received a First-class Certificate for 
Vanda tricolor tenebrosa, a very richly-coloured form.. 
M. Ch. Maron, Brunoy, France, received an Award of Merit for Vanda 
x Marguerite Maron (teres X suavis), a distinct and handsome hybrid, 
having erect fleshy leaves, larger than those of V. teres, and laterally 
compressed, and rosy unspotted sepals and petals, approaching those of V. 
teres, but the lip more like the other parent in shape and colour. 
M. Florent Claes, Etterbeek, Brussels, sent three pretty forms of 
Odontoglossum X Adriane, and some spotted and other forms of O. 
crispum. . 
The trade exhibits were very fine, no less than nine Medals of different 
kinds being awarded, and we regret that considerations of space compel us 
to give a very brief report. 
The group staged by Messrs. Sande: & Sons was magnificent in every 
respect, and gained a Gold Medal. Miltonia vexillaria, M. X Bleuana, and 
the Odontoglossums were extremely fine, a spike of O. X Wilckeanum 
having 23 flowers, and a fine O. X Rolfee fourteen. O. crispum F. K. 
Sander was a very fine form, heavily blotched with crimson-purple on the 
broad segments. Several forms of Lelio-cattleya x Canhamiana were 
extremely good, also L.-c. X Digbyano-Mossiz, a warm soft rose flower of 
great size with a light yellow throat. We also noted L.-c. x Herode, 
many fine Cattleyas, Lelia grandis, L. tenebrosa, Epidendrum Frederici- 
Gulielmi, Leptotes bicolor, Cypripedium callosum Sandere, C. 
philippinense, Phalznopsis amabilis, Renanthera Imschootiana, Aérides 
Lobbii, Angraecum pertusum, Trichopilia tortilis, Warscewiczella discolor, 
Chondrorhyncha Chestertoni, Saccolabium ampullaceum, Maxillaria 
Sanderiana, Dendrobium secundum, Oncidiums, &c., &c. 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. also staged an extremely rich and varied 
group, which gained a Silver-gilt Lindley Medal. The hybrids were fine 
and very numerous, two little groups of Phaius x Norman and Lzelio- 
cattleya x G. S. Ball being particularly effective. Other fine things were 
L.-c. X albanensis inversa, X Dora, X Phoebe, X highburiensis, Brasso-
