Awards Recommended : — 



Bronze Banhsian Medal. 

 To the Duke of Sutherland, Trentham Hall, Stoke-on-Trent 

 (gardener, Mr. P. Blair), for a group of Orchids comprising 

 Cattleya Trianae " Trentham variety," a form with richly coloured 

 purplish crimson lahellum ; Odontoglossum Buckerianum variety 

 with heavily blotched flowers of good size ; 0. crispum flaveolum 

 with clear yellow flowers ; Dendrobium nobile nobilius, D. n. 

 Cooksonii, D. chrysodiscus x , and a large variety of Odonto- 

 glossum triumphans. 



To F. Wigan, Esq., Clare Lawn, East Sheen (gardener, 

 Mr. W. H. Young), for a group of Orchids whose chief feature was 

 two well-grown specimens of the large and fragrant Cattleya 

 labiata Schroderae, the one with twelve and the other with seven 

 flowers. This species was named C. Trianaa Schroderae by 

 Professor Beichenbach, but in odour and other respects it is more 

 distinct from C. Trianae than C. labiata Mendeli is ; its proper 

 designation therefore should be C. labiata Schroderse. Mr. Young 

 also staged a fine Aeranthes (Angraecum) Leonis, Cypripedium 

 Swanianum x , C. hirsutissimum, and a small plant ofBifrenaria 

 Harrisoniae. 



Cultural Commendation. 



To F. Wigan, Esq., Clare Lawn, East Sheen (gardener, 

 Mr. Young), for Aeranthes Leonis. 



To E. Ellis, Esq., Manor House, Wallington (gardener, Mr. J. 

 A. Glover), for a fine specimen of Aerides suavissimum with four 

 spikes of flowers.
