Other Exhibits. 



Frau Ida Brandt, Brunnenhof, Riesbach, Zurich (gr. Mr.

 nopsis and other Orchids. 



Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., sent a number of varieties of 

 Epidendrurn obtained between F. xanthinum and E. radicans. 



Messrs. Veitch & Sons showed the extraordinary Epicattleya 

 x matutina (Cattleya Bowringiana $ x Epidendrurn radicans $ ). 

 The growth of the plant much resembled E. radicans, even to 

 having aerial roots on the stems, notwithstanding the fact that 

 the seeds were from C. Bowringiana, which is totally different 

 in growth. The flowers were about 2 inches across, yellow, 

 tinged with vermilion ; the labellums varying much in form 

 from ovate, irregularly notched, to trilobate, as though the 

 character were not fixed. 



Walter Cobb, Esq., Dulcote, Tunbridge Wells (gr. Mr. J. 

 Howes), showed Platyclinis glumacea, var. valida ; and a 

 pretty — nearly white — Cattleya Trianas. 



W. Wheatley Ball, Esq., Rockhills, Borncliffe, Sheffield, sent 

 Dendrobium crassinode. 



Malcolm S. Cooke, Esq., Kingston Hill (gr. Mr. Buckell) 

 showed a good Odontoglossum nebulosum.

 excellens. 



Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Clapton, showed Cypripedium x 

 Prewcttii.
