Bronze. A fine flower of Cypripedium X Daisy Barclay, with specially 
large and dark markings, gained a First-class Certificate, while C. X 
Watsonianum superbum, and C. X Verdi, a fine hybrid, gained Awards of 
Merit. Cattleya Vergilius, an albino, said to bea seedling, but more probably 
imported, C. granulosa, a pale yellow-green form, and Odontoglossum Uro-
