Other Exhibits. 



The Rev. E. Handley, Royal Crescent, Bath (gardener, Mr. 

 Kerslake), exhibited a good specimen of Angraacum sesquipedale 

 with nine flowers ; also a superb variety of Odontoglossum 

 crispum and a highly coloured form of 0. maculatum. 



F. G. Tautz, Esq., Studley House, Goldhawk Road, W. 

 (gardener, Mr. Cowley), staged a brilliantly coloured Cattleya 

 Lawrenceana, a fine specimen of Cypripedium selligerum majus x , 

 and Miltonia vexillaria, with white edges to the segments and 

 white rays on the labellum. 



Messrs. J. Laing & Son, Forest Hill, sent a pigmy form of 

 Cypripedium niveum ; Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, 

 a distinct new Dendrobium from New Guinea. Its growths are 

 similar to those of D. macrophyllum (Veitchianum), and the 

 flowers approach that species in form ; they are yellowish, two* 

 inches across, the sepals and petals spotted with violet, and the 

 lip striped with the same colour. Mrs. Brightwen, The Grove, 

 Stanmore (gardener, Mr. J. W. Odell), exhibited for the first time 

 the pretty little white Disa sagittalis with six spikes. 



Cut spikes of a spotted form of Odontoglossum Pescatorei 

 were sent by T. H. Powell, Esq., Drinkstone Park, Bury St. 

 Edmunds (gardener, Mr. George Palmer). The sprays bore 

 evidence of good culture, and, although both cut from the same 

 plant, exhibited some little difference in the spotting of the 

 flowers. Drewett 0. Drewett, Esq., Riding Mill on Tyne, sent 

 flowers of his hybrid Cypripedium delicatulum x, a hybrid 

 between C. barbatum Warnerii and C. Dayanum, and also an 

 inflorescence of a variety of Dendrobium thyrsiflorum with 

 unusually white sepals and petals.
