First Class Certificate. 



To Laelio-Cattleya x Statteriana (Lselia Perrinii $ x C.

 bling L.-C. x exoniensis, but without the elongation or fringing 

 of the front lobe of the lip. The sepals and petals have the form 

 and colour of C. labiata ; the broad front lobe of the lip is shaped 

 and coloured like L^lia Perrinii.

 C. x Harrisianum <?) (votes, unanimous), from Thos. Statter, 

 Esq., Stand Hall, Whitefield, Manchester (gr. Mr. R. Johnson). 

 This was a very great improvement on the variety originally 

 exhibited. Flowers creamy white, richly spotted with purple.

 Low & Co., Clapton. This, the type, of which S. Amesiana is 

 the white form, is of the hornless, or S. ecornuta section. Sepals

 interior of the hypochile.
