Courfcauld, Esq., Booking Place, Braintree (gardener, Mr. A, 

 Wright). This is a very distinct species from the Cauca, U.S. 

 Columbia. It is of the M. Chimsera section, its chief peculiarities 

 being the equal size of the sepals and the small labellum. Its 

 flowers are white, profusely spotted with purple. 



To Saccolabium Hendersonianum (votes, unanimous), from 

 Major Mason, The Firs, Warwick. An elegant species, with 

 upright spikes of carmine-pink flowers ; the labellum white. 

 It is a native of Borneo. 



To Sobralia Warscewiczii (votes, 5 for, none against), from 

 Messrs. James Veitch & Sons. A fine dwarf species with flowers 

 equal in size to those of S. dichotoma, but of a more purple 

 tint. 



To Cypripedium H. Ballahtine x (votes, 5 for, none against), 

 from Messrs. James Veitch & Sons. This is the result of crossing 

 C. purpuratum and C. Fairieanum. The dorsal sepal bears 

 evidence in its purple lines on a white ground of C. purpuratum, 

 but in some respects it resembles C. vexillarium x . 



Botanical Certificate. 

 To Phalamopsis Micholitzii (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. 

 F. Sander & Co., St. Albans. It has ivory-white flowers, the 

 sepals slightly tinged with green, and both flowers and leaves 

 bear a resemblance to P. tetraspis, but in the present species 

 the sepals and petals are broader, and the whole flower larger. 



Other Exhibits. 



Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, exhibited Cattleya 

 Schofieldiana, C. Dowiana, several forms of C. Gaskelliana, one 

 with about twenty flowers ; Angraecum articulatum, and Cattleya 

 Nilssoni, of the habit of C. bicolor, and with evidence of that 

 species in the labellum, but the flowers were of the colour of 

 those of C. Harrisonise. Messrs. Sander also staged a new 

 Masdevallia — M. hybrida Amesiana, stated to be the result of 

 crossing M. Veitchiana and M. Tovarensis. 



Messrs. B. S. Williams & Son, Upper Holloway, showed good 

 specimens of Cypripedium tonsum, C. grande, C. Ashburtonire 

 superbum, 0. cenanthum, and the pretty white and crimson 

 Pachystoma Thomsonianum.
