Awards Recommended:— 



Silver Flora Medal. 



To Baron H. Schroder (gardener, Mr. Ballantine), for a 

 select group of Orchids, including a magnificent plant of the rare 

 Cypripedium Fairieanum carrying seven flowers ; three plants of 

 the large form of Dendrobium Phalasnopsis ; Cattleya Fausta x ; 

 C. aurea Imschootiana, and Laelia porphyrites. 



First Class Certificate. 



To Cattleya aurea Imschootiana (votes, unanimous), from 

 Baron Schroder, The Dell, Egham. This is a form of C. aurea 

 approaching C. Hardyana,but with nearly white sepals and petals. 



To Cattleya Warocqueana var. amethystina (votes, unani- 

 mous), from M. Linden, l'Horticulture Internationale, Pare 

 Leopold, Brussels, by whom this noble and distinct form of 

 C. labiata was introduced. It appears to be an importation from 

 the same ground from which the famed "autumn-flowering 

 labiata" came in 1818, and which has hitherto been sought in 

 vain. The plant exhibited was a true autumn-flowering labiata, 

 but with brighter sepals and petals, and more showy lip. 



To C. Warocqueana flammea (votes, unanimous), a variety 

 resembling the preceding, but with only a bright wedge-like mark 

 of crimson on the lip. 



Award of Merit. 

 To Cattleya aurea Lindenii (votes, 3 for), from M. Linden, Pare 

 Leopold, Brussels. This is a noble form of the well-known
