EXTRACTS OF PROCEEDINGS. 



xxxvii 



through from the back to the front of the petals, whose margin 

 is ivory white. It bears much the same relation to D. Wardianum 

 that D. nobile nobilius does to D. nobile. 



To Laslio-Cattleya Hippolyta x , from Messrs. James Veitch & 

 Sons. A garden hybrid raised at the Royal Exotic Nursery, 

 King's Road, Chelsea, by crossing Laelia cinnabarina with pollen 

 of Cattleya labiata Mossiae. The plant exhibited had a flower 

 about five inches across, in form like a small narrow-lipped 

 C. Mossioa, and in colour of an exquisite tint of Indian yellow ; 

 the nervures of the flower and the edge of the labellum being 

 slightly darker than the body colour. 



Award of Merit. 

 To Cattleya Trianae Tautziana, from F. G. Tautz, Esq., 

 Studley House, Goldhawk Road,W. (gardener, Mr. Cowley). This 

 was a very distinct and highly coloured form, of medium size. 

 The petals were almost as broad as long ; the labellum rich 

 yellow at the base, and of the fine velvety crimson colour seen 

 more frequently in C. Warscewiczii (C. gigas) than in the 

 varieties of C. Trianae, on the front lobe, which is evenly and 

 prettily crimped and frilled. 



Cultural Commendation. 



To G. F. Darnell, Esq., Devonshire House, Stamford Hill 

 (gardener, Mr. G. Elliott), for Angraecum citratum giganteum, 

 a well-grown example of the best variety of this graceful Orchid, 

 with four spikes. 



To A. H. Smee, Esq., The Grange, Hackbridge (gardener, 

 Mr. G. W. Cummins), for Cyrtopodium Saintlegerianum, Reich. 

 Two finely flowered specimens of this handsome plant (which, 

 however, cannot be considered specifically distinct from C 

 punctatum) were staged ; the long green and brown bracts 

 which hung from the bases of the branches of the inflorescence 

 lending an additional attraction to the numerous yellow and 

 brown flowers. 



To W. C. Walter, Esq., Percy Lodge, Winchmore Hill 

 (gardener, Mr. G. Cragg), for Oncidium sarcodes. The plant, 

 which was a very strong one, had two branched spikes, each 

 about four feet in length. 



All the above awards were by unanimous vote.
