FEBRUARY, 1908. ] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 43 
Messrs. J. W. Moore, Ltd., Rawdon, Leeds, also received a Silver 
Banksian Medal for a good group of Cypripediums, including the handsome 
C. X Boadicea majesticum, C. X aureum virginale, C. xX a. delicatum, a 
good C. X Niobe, C. X Leeanam Imperator, the richly coloured C. insigne 
McNabianum, and other good things. 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, received an Award of 
Merit for Odontioda xX Craveniana (Cochlioda Neetzliana x Odonto- 
glossum cordatum), a very interesting hybrid, most like the Cochlioda in 
shape, and having red sepals and petals, and a broadish salmon-red lip, 
becoming cream white in front, and the crest yellow. 
M. Mertens, Ghent, showed white and coloured forms of Cattleya 
Trianz, and a few good Odontoglossums, including O. x amabile, O. x 
Vuylstekei, and a home-raised O. & Wilckeanum. 
Messrs. Sander & Sons, St. Albans, showed a very fine home-raised form 
of Odontoglossum crispum, the ground colour being tinged with rose, and 
the segments heavily blotched with rose-purple. 
Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, sent two good forms of 
Cypripedium X Countess of Carnarvon (villosum x Euryades), one having 
much larger spots than the other. 
At the meeting held on January r4th the display of Orchids was the 
smallest that has appeared for a long time, which was doubtless due to the 
severe weather, though the quality was excellent, and the awards consisted 
of four First-class Certificates, one Award of Merit, and three Medals. 
Major G. L. Holford, C.I.E., C.V.O., Westonbirt, Tetbury (gr. Mr. 
Alexander), received a First-class Certificate for Cypripedium x Sultan 
(Mons. de Curte X Milo Westonbirt var.), a remarkably fine hybrid, having 
a very large emerald-green dorsal sepal heavily blotched with purple, with 
a broad white margin, half an inch wide, yellow petals, tinged and veined © 
with mahogany red, and with a few dark spots at the base, the lip rich 
brown, margined with yellow, and the staminode yellow. The lateral 
sepals were free, a quite unusual character. He also received an Award of 
Merit for Lelio-cattleya Corunna, a richly-coloured hybrid of unknown 
parentage, though bearing some resemblance to L.-c. Ingramii in colour 
and markings. 
Baron Sir H. Schréder, The Dell, Egham (gr. Mr. Ballantine), received 
a First-class Certificate for Odontoglossum X Bingelianum, a very beautiful 
hybrid of unrecorded parentage, originally shown in November, rgo5. It 
now bore a strong inflorescence, of large canary yellow flowers, barred and 
blotched with light reddish brown, and a white lip, with a large brown 
blotch in front of the crest.
