Cattleya x Sedeni (L.-C. x elegans x C. superba) ; L.-C. 

 x elegans, Veitch's variety ; and L.-C. x elegans Morreniana. 



Sir Frederick Wigan (gr. Mr. W. H. Young) showed Laelio- 

 Cattleya x elegans with ten flowers on a spike. 



Sir William Marriott, Down House, Blandford, sent Cattleya 

 x Marriottise (C. Eldorado x C. Warscewiczii). The plant had 

 a five-flowered inflorescence, the flowers resembling those of 

 C. Eldorado splendens, but slightly larger. 



Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans, staged a good group of 

 Orchids of the season. 



A. Sington, Esq., Chapel-en-le-Frith, sent Cypripedium x 

 Singtonianum (C. x vexillarium x C. barbatum Warnerii), which 

 closely approaches some of the forms of C. barbatum ; and a 

 spike of La3lia crispa. 



Pantia Ralli, Esq., Ashtead Park, Surrey, showed Sobralia 

 Lowii and Odontoglossum aspidorhinum, Ealli's var. The 

 variety served to show the absolute distinctness of the species, 

 the large white crimped lip being profusely spotted with rose- 

 crimson, and totally unlike 0. constrictum, 0. Sanderianum, and 

 others whose flowers the species more nearly resembles in its 

 poorer forms. 



Elijah Ashworth, Esq., Harefield Hall, Wilmslow, Cheshire, 

 showed a splendid form of Cattleya labiata Gaskelliana alba, 

 and Cattleya x Kienastiana (C. Luddemanniana x C. aurea).
