Other Exhibits. 



From the gardens of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., M.P., the 

 President of the Society, came a plant of the extraordinary 

 Bulbophyllum grandiflorum, having the long segments of the 

 flowers curved forward, and of a yellowish white colour, marbled 

 with chocolate. It comes from New Guinea, and is figured in 

 the " Lindenia," t. 108. Also the equally curious Sarcopodium 

 psittacoglossum, the sepals and petals yellow with narrow purple 

 lines, the labellum purple and curiously shaped like a parrot's 

 tongue. Sir Trevor Lawrence also sent the handsome blue 

 Aganisia ccerulea, previously certificated, and a flower of a very 

 large variety of Cypripedium Curtisii. 



Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, staged a group consist- 

 ing of Cypripedium Elliottianum and C. Rothschildianum ; 

 Oncidium hastatum Ernestii, which has a very showy labellum, 

 much larger than the type ; Cattleya gigas Sanderiana ; and a 

 very prettily spotted form of Odontoglossum crispum, named 

 punctatissimum.
