Award of Merit. 
Catasetum Cliftonii, from Sir Jeremiah 
Colman, Bart., V.M.H. (gr. Mr. Collier).— This 
species has a strong resemblance to C. Bun- 
gerothii, but there are remarkable distinc- 
tions. The flowers are greenish-yellow, the 
lip being trilobed, slightly fimbriated, and 
having a very large, raised, triangular, orange- 
coloured callus. Both Sir Jeremiah Colman

this species at the meeting of June 2ist, and 
the award on this occasion carries with it a 
similar award to the plant shown then by Sir 
Trevor LawTence.
