PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



from Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., M.P. (gardener, Mr. White). 

 This is another extension of the D. nobile Cooksoni section, in 

 which the petals partake of the character and colouring of the 

 labellum (trilabellia) ; in the Burford variety the influence of the 

 labellum is seen on the inner halves of the two lower sepals, the 

 trilabellia being thus made up of two segments of the outer 

 plane and one of the inner. 

 Cultural Commendation. 



To E. Ellis, Esq. (gardener, Mr. G. A. Glover), for a fine 

 specimen of Lycaste plana with many flowers. 



Other Exhibits. 



Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., M.P., exhibited three examples 

 of abnormal forms of Dendrobium nobile, viz., D. n. Tollianum, 

 in which the flowers always open labellum uppermost, D. n. 

 Cooksoni and D. n. Burford var. ; also specimens of the plant 

 known in gardens as Laelia Patinii, but which does not appear to 

 differ from Cattleya Skinneri, and a fine variety of Laelia pumila 

 sometimes named " El spirito santo." 



From Baron Schroder's gardens, Mr. H. Ballantine brought 

 cut spikes of the different white forms of Laelia anceps. 



De B. Crawshay, Esq., Rosefield, Sevenoaks, exhibited a 

 plant of Laelia Crawshayana x , and also a flower of it, and for 

 comparison one of each of L. anceps and L. Gouldiana. 



E. Harvey, Esq., Eiverdale, Aigburth, Liverpool, sent a fine 

 plant with five spikes of a variety of white Laelia near to L. 

 anceps Williamsii. 



From the Duke of Sutherland's gardens at Trentham, Mr. 

 Blair brought a well-flowered specimen of Cattleya labiata 

 Trianae named C. T. albescens. It is the plant known in gardens 

 as C. T. delicata. 



T. Statter, Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester 

 (gardener, Mr. Johnson), sent a plant with six spikes of a 

 nearly white form of the fragrant Vanda Amesiana, with a piece 

 of the pink-lipped form in the same pan for comparison.

 (gardener, Mr. Cowley), staged a group of Orchids in flower,
