 rose ; Ipomaea Briggsii, a variety of I. Horsfalliae, bright carmine

ORCHID COMMITTEE.

Awards Recommended : 



Silver Flora Medal. 

 To Mons. Linden, l'Horticulture Internationale, Pare Leopold, 

 Brussels, for a group of Orchids, consisting chiefly of fourteen 

 varieties of their new Cattleya Warocqueana, which bids fair to 

 be a fine ''autumn-flowering labiata," some of the varieties 

 closely approaching the original plant grown in collections 

 under that name. 



Aioard of Merit. 

 To Cattleya Lindenii (votes, unanimous), a new form of the 

 Cattleya Hardy ana type, very closely resembling the plant 

 certificated at the last meeting as C. Imschootiana, but with pale 

 lilac sepals and petals exquisitely veined and netted with white. 

 The lip is of the richest purplish maroon, veined at the base 

 with yellow. 



Cultural Commendation. 

 To Reginald Young, Esq., Fringilla, Limiet Lane, Sefton
