AWARDS. 
First-class Certificate. 
Odontoglossum Woodroffeae (Rossii iiibes- 
cens X Queen Alexandra), from Eric H. 
Davidson, Esq., Borlases, Twyford. — A 
wonderful result, and the finest of the Rossii 
hybrids. The spike carried two flowers, of 
medium size, but with the labellum much 
larger than usually seen. Sepals and petals 
almost covered with rich crimson-brown 
blotches, with bright yellow under-colour 
appearing in a few places ; apices of petals 
crimson-brown. The very large oblong label- 
lum of rich violet-purple, having but one small 
spot of dark pigment, and a bright yellow 
crest. Odontoglossum Queen Alexandra is a 
hybrid between Harryanum and triumphans, 
but none of the well-defined blotch on the 
labellum of the latter species has been trans- 
mitted to Woodroffeae. Raised by Messrs. 
Charlesworth and Co., this, the only seedling, 
has taken eight years to flower.
