ccxiii 



To Laelio-Cattleya x Nysa (L. crispa $ x C. Warscewiczii 

 c?) (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. James Veitch & Sons, Chel- 

 sea. This fine hybrid bore some resemblance to L.-C. x exoni-

 callosum £) (votes, unanimous), from H. G. Leon, Esq., M.P., 

 Bletchley Park, Bucks (gr. Mr. A. Hislop). The plant bore a 

 two-flowered scape, the flowers somewhat resembling those of 

 C. x Ashburtoniae, but they were larger and more beautiful.
