SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE. 
Scientific Committee, January 10, 1899. 
Dr. Masters, F.R.S., in the Chair, and eight members present. 
Bigeneric Orchid. — Mr. Veitch exhibited a flowering plant of Epi- 
Cattleya, * Mrs. Jas. O'Brien ' : its male parent was Cattleya Bowringia- 
num, and its female parent Epidendrum x O'Brienianum, the latter being 
from E. evectum x E. radicp.ns. It has been stated that in these bigeners 
the result generally resembled the female parent almost entirely, but in 
this case there was a decided inclination towards Cattleya in the form of 
the lip and foHage. (Fig. 25.) 
Mildness of the Season. — Mr. Wilks brought a spray of Oakleaves, 
still partially green, and mentioned that Blackberries had been lately 
gathered ripe — an unusual occurrence in Surrey in early January. 
Thuia gigantea (vlicata), Barked. — Dr. Masters showed a stem which 
had been nearly stripped of its bark, exposing the central axis as an 
almost cylindrical rod. The young wood had made renewed efforts to 
surround the latter, which appeared to be dead. It was received from 
Mr. Croucher, of Auchstertyre, near Crieff.
