﻿THE ORCHID REVIEW. 



[September, 1904. 



Captain Holford, Westonbirt, Tetbury (gr. Mr. Alexander), sent the 

 handsome Cypripediurn X Milo Westonbirt var., and Cattleya X 

 Germania superba, the latter bearing a fine inflorescence of five flowers, in 

 which the characters of C. granulosa and C. X Hardyana are combined. 



R. I. Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Camberwell (gr. Mr. Smith), 

 sent an interesting hybrid Masdevallia, called M. X Veitchii-fragrans 

 (Veitchiana X fragrans), having a light yellow flower fairly intermediate in 

 shape, and light yellow in colour, with numerous dusky hairs, showing very 

 little of the violet iridescence of the seed parent. 



Francis Wellesley, Esq., Westfield, Woking (gr. Mr. Hopkins), sent 

 Cypripediurn X Bella (C. X vexillarium X philippinense), most like the 

 latter in shape, but having shorter and broader drooping petals, of a lurid 

 purple colour, and a broader dorsal sepal, closely veined with purple- 



C. L. N. Ingram, Esq., Elstead House, Godalming (gr. Mr. Bond), 

 exhibited Laelio-cattleya X Admiral Togo (C. Schilleriana X L -c. X 

 elegans Turneri), having a four-flowered raceme, the sepals and petals light 

 purple, and the strongly three-lobed lip rich crimson purple, with darker 

 veins on the front lobe of the lip, and some yellow mottling on the disc. 

 The pseudobulbs were intermediate in size, and three of them were 

 monophyllous and two diphyllous. 



A meeting was held at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on August nth, 

 when the exhibits were not numerous, but included one good group which 

 gained a Silver Medal, while three First-class Certificates were also 

 included in the Awards. 



Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne (gr. Mr. Chap- 

 man), sent Cattleya X Atalanta, Oakwood var., a very line form, and

 varieties, a First-class Certificate being given to each, while the Odonto- 

 glossum received the additional award of a Silver Medal, in recognition of 

 its excellence. 



G. W. Law Schofield, Esq., New Hall Hey, Rawtenstall (gr. Mr. 

 Schill), received a First-class Certificate for the handsome Cypripediurn X 

 Sanderiano-superbiens, in which the characters of the parent species are 

 very effectively combined.

 the fine Cypripediurn X calloso-Lawrenceanum, which received an Award 

 of Merit.
