To Vanda teres gigantea (votes, unanimous), from Baron 

 Schroder, The Dell, Egham (gr. Mr. H. Ballantine). A well- 

 marked and constant variety ; very strong in growth, and bearing 

 stout spikes of flowers, much larger than the type, and very fine 

 in colour. 



Award of Merit. 



To Dendrobium thyrsiflorum Lowii (votes, unanimous), from 

 Baron Schroder (gr. Mr. H. Ballantine). The flowers are wholly 

 cream white with the exception of an orange streak on the lip, 

 which is spoon-shaped and narrow. It may be classed with that 

 form of D. thyrsiflorum figured in the " Lindenia " as D. Galli- 

 ceanum. 



To Chysis x langleyensis (C. x Chelsoni x C. bractescens), 

 (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. Jas. Veitch & Sons, King's 

 Road, Chelsea, S.W. A fine hybrid with flowers like C. bractes- 

 cens, but with the segments tipped with rose colour. 



To Laelio-Cattleya x Eudora (L. purpurata $ x C. Men- 

 delii S) (votes, 6 for, 4 against), from C. L. N. Ingram, Esq., 

 Elstead House, Godalming. This bears much resemblance to 

 L.-C. x eximia, but as shown was smaller.
