Award of Merit. 



To Cattleya guttata Prinzii " Viscount de Figueiredo " 

 (votes unanimous), from the Right Hon. Lord Rothschild, Tring 

 Park, Tring (gr. Mr. E. Hill). A large and handsome form with 

 creamy yellow ground colour to the flowers, in place of the 

 usual pink tint, and with rich crimson-purple lip. 



To Cypripedium x William Lloyd (C. bellatulum $ x C. x 

 Swanianum c?) (votes unanimous), from Mr. P. Weathers, 

 Silverhall Nursery, Isleworth. This is a beautiful and distinct 

 hybrid, with the form and bright crimson tint of C. x Charles 

 Rickman, but in the differently arranged petals indicating 

 C. Dayanum, which was one of the species used in obtaining 

 C. Swanianum (fig. 34). 



To Cypripedium x Swinburnei magnificum (C. Argus 

 Moensii ? xC. insigne Chantinii d) (votes unanimous), from 

 E. Ashworth, Esq., Harefield Hall, Wilmslow, Cheshire, and 

 T. W. Swinburne, Esq., Corndean Hall, Winchcombe. A much 

 larger form than either of the two previously exhibited, the 

 broad petals being blotched as in C. Argus Moensii. 



To Cypripedium x J. Howe (C. Sallierii ? x C. villosum 

 aureum^) (votes unanimous), exhibited by Walter Cobb, Esq., 

 Dulcote, Tunbridge Wells (gr. Mr. J. Howe). This is an im- 

 provement on C. x Sallierii Hyeanum, which it otherwise 

 resembles. 



To Schomburgkia rhinodora Kimballiana (votes unanimous), 

 from Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Clapton. This singular variety 

 has a tall erect inflorescence of loosely arranged rose-purple 

 flowers, in colour and size resembling Cattleya Bowringiana. 



To Lselia x Euterpe (L. crispa ? x L. pumila Dayana 3 ) 

 (votes unanimous), from Thomas Statter, Esq k , Stand Hall, 

 Whiten eld, Manchester (gr. Mr. R. Johnson). This partakes 

 closely of L. pumila Dayana in habit and size of flower, but 

 the lip is larger and more fully developed in front.
