leucum, and the Cypripediums included the fine C. X Priam, C. X 

 Leeanum giganteum and other fine varieties, C. X microchilum, C. X 

 Lathamianum giganteum, C. X Nandii, C. X Olivia, C. X Actaeus 

 Chardwar var., and others, together with about 120 fine forms of C. insigne, 

 noteworthy examples being the varieties Sanderae, with over a dozen 

 flowers, Dorothy, with eight, Harefield Hall, with three, Oddity, with three 

 lips, and others too numerous to mention, both yellow and spotted. An 

 Award of Merit was given to C. i. sylhetense giganteum, a large, well-shaped 

 form, having a broad, blotched dorsal sepal, with a large, white area at the 

 apex. The bringing of this large collection from such a distance at this 

 season of the year must have been a feat of considerable difficulty, and no 

 wonder that the group was greatly admired.

 pedium insigne Sanderae Oakwood seedling, C. X Niobe, Oakwood-raised 

 var., with several fine blooms, C. X Actaeus aureum, C. X A. punctatissimum, 

 Cattleya labiata oakwoodiensis, a finely flowered specimen, which gained a 

 Cultural Commendation, and Odontoglossum X Andersonianum Crawshay- 

 anum, a very large and handsome form, showing much of the character of 

 O. crispum, to which a First-class Certificate was awarded.

 var., a fine round flower, having the dorsal sepal handsomely veined with 

 rose purple, on a white ground, and an Award of Merit for C. X triumphans 

 magnificum (X Sallieri X oenanthum superbum), a very fine form, having 

 the dorsal sepal heavily blotched with purple-brown on a greenish ground, 

 and the petals and lip richly shining chestnut-brown.
