ORCHID COMMITTEE. 



July 10, 1894. 



Haery J. Veitch, Esq., in the Chair, and fifteen members 

 present. 



Awards Recommended:— 



Silver Banhsian Medal. 

 To Messrs. W. L. Lewis & Co., Chase Side, Southgate, for 

 an extensive collection of Orchids. 



First Glass Certificate. 

 To Lselio-Cattleya x Timora (Lselia pumila Dayana $ x 

 C. labiata Luddemanniana $ ) (votes unanimous), from Messrs. 

 Jas. Veitch & Sons, King's Road, Chelsea. The plant exhibited had 

 the habit of growth, and size and colour of flower, of L. pumila 

 prsestans, but the front of the lip was elongated and enlarged, and 

 of a rich plum-purple, the same colour edging the side lobes. 



Aivard of Merit. 



To Thunia x Veitchiana superba (T. x Veitchiana ? x T. 

 Bensonisec?) (votes unanimous), from Messrs. J. Veitch & Sons, 

 Chelsea. The plant was the result of again crossing T. x 

 Veitchiana with T. Bensonise, and a finer colour and a larger 

 flower was the result. 



To Cattleya labiata Gaskelliana "Nellie" (votes unanimous), 

 from W. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone, Staffs (gr. Mr. 

 W. Stevens). A very pretty variety with white flowers, having a 

 light purple blotch on the lip. 



Botanical Certificate. 



To Vanda Roeblingiana (votes unanimous), from Messrs. 

 Hugh Low & Co., Clapton. A singular new species with brown 

 flowers, the front of the lip being furnished with two circular 

 fimbriated plates. 



To Ornithocephalus grandiflorus (votes unanimous), from 

 C. J. Lucas, Esq., Warnham Court, Horsham (gr. Mr. Duncan). 



Cultural Commendation.
