EXTRACTS OF PROCEEDINGS. 



Ixi 



ORCHID COMMITTEE. 



Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., M.P., in the Chair, and 

 fifteen members present. 



Awards Recommended:— 



First Class Certificate. 

 To Odontoglossum maculatum anceps (votes, unanimous), 

 from W. C. Atkinson, Esq., Aigburth, Liverpool. An extra- 

 ordinarily beautiful form of this old species, the flowers larger 

 and more richly coloured than in the type. 



Aivard of Merit. 

 To Ccelogyne tomentosa (votes, unanimous), sent by E. I. 

 Measures, Esq., Cambridge Lodge, Flodden Eoad, Camberwell 

 (gardener, Mr. H. Simpkins). A very handsome species, allied 

 to C. Massangeana, but with salmon-tinted flowers. The plant 

 exhibited was a strong one, with several sprays of flowers. 



Cultural Commendation. 



To Mr. Cypher, gardener to Mrs. General Studd, Royal 

 Crescent, Bath, for Lselia purpurata Studdii, a fine form and well 

 grown. 



Other Exhibits. 



M. L. Linden, Directeur de 1'Horticulture Internationale, 

 Pare Leopold, Brussels, forwarded two plants of a new form of 

 Cattleya labiata, named Warocqueana. It seemed nearest to 

 C. 1. Warneri, but being, it was stated, from a new locality, it is 

 probably distinct from any hitherto introduced. The flowers 

 were richly coloured, but the plant being imperfectly developed, 

 the Committee desired to see it again. The same firm also sent 

 Dendrobium Galliceanum, a form of D. thyrsiflorum, with a 

 curiously flattened lip ; and Odontoglossum crispum virginale, 

 which was certificated a few years ago. 



Sir C. W. Strickland, Bart., again sent the plants he exhibited 

 of Cattleya citrina in flower last year, to prove that this species 

 need not deteriorate under cultivation. 



R. I. Measures, Esq., staged a pretty new Masdevallia of the 

 M. simula type, named M. O'Brieniana, and cut spikes of a fine
