following :— 
NOMENCLATURE OF OrcHID Hysrips.—The following resolution was 
received from the Orchid Committee: “ That the Scientific Committee be 
asked to consider and advise upon the proper nomenclature of tri-generic, 
quadri-generic, and other hybrids, as it appears to the Orchid Committee 
that not more than two generic names can conveniently be combined in 
defining the origin of the hybrids.” Several letters upon the subject were 
considered, and suggestions were made as to the best methods of forming 
names for these hybrids. It was finally proposed by Mr. Veitch, and 
seconded by Mr. Hurst, that a sub-commitee should be formed to consist of 
five members of the Scientific Committee and five of the Orchid Committee, 
who should confer together and further consider the subject. This was 
carried, and Dr. Rendle, Messrs. Bowles, Fawcett, Hurst and Rolfe were 
appointed to represent the Scientific Committee,
