M. Ch. Yuylsteke, Loochristi, Ghent, supplied the sensation of the Show 

 in the shape of a most remarkable hybrid between Odontoglossum Pescatorei

 compact flower with very broad lip. Another form of this, called 

 insignitum, had longer segmentsand a narrower lip. Two other fine things 

 were shown, namely O. X percultum (O. X RoKex X ardentissimum), a 

 fine thing with moderately broad acuminate segments, very heavily blotched

Messrs. Charlesworth & Co., Heaton, Bradford, staged a very large and 

 brilliant group, which gained a Silver Cup. It contained a remarkably rich
