 Staines, for a fine plant of the pretty Sophro-Cattleya x Veitchiana, 

 which had previously received a First Class Certificate. 

 Other Exhibits. 



Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, Wylam, showed two 

 plants of Cattleya x Hardyana (C. Warscewiczii x C. Dowiana), 

 in which the Costa Rica form of C. Dowuana was used instead 

 of the Columbian. The hybrid differed in form from the im- 

 ported variety, but was, in its immature state, lighter in colour. 

 This cross effectually proves the hybrid origin of the imported 

 forms of C. x Hardyana. 



Elijah Ashworth, Esq., Harefield Hall, Wilmslow (gr. Mr. 

 Holbrook), sent a fine form of Cattleya x Hardyana and a pale 

 variety of Cypripedium x Mabellianum.

 Cypripedium x polystigmaticum. 



Walter Cobb, Esq., Tunbridge Wells (gr. Mr. J. Howes), 

 show T ed Odontoglossum Oerstedii major. 



Welbore S. Ellis, Esq., Hazelbourne, Dorking, sent Oncidiuiu 

 panduratum (Rolfc), with brown flowers somewhat resembling 

 those of 0. anthocrene, and Stanhopea oculata. 



G. Shorland Ball, Esq., Ashford, Wilmslow (gr. Mr. Hey), 

 sent Cypripedium insigne Balliae, a yellow form with a very faint 

 indication of the usual spotting on the upper sepal.
