 Lselia elegans Turnerii. 



To Cattleya Mendelii, Quorndon House var. (votes, unani- 

 mons), from W. E. B. Farnham, Quorndon House, Loughborough 

 (gaadener, Mr. G. Cook). The flowers of this fine variety, of 

 which a very large specimen was exhibited, were white with a 

 slight purple pencilling in the throat and a pale yellow stain on 

 the base of the lip. 



To Lselio-Cattleya Phoebe x (Cattleya Mossiae $ x Laelia 

 cinnabarina 3) (votes, unanimous), from Norman C. Cookson, 

 Esq., Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne (gardener, Mr. Murray). A 

 remarkably pretty hybrid, the result of the reverse cross which 

 produced L.-C. Hippolyta x. The flowers are of a rich Indian 

 yellow, with the middle lobe of the lip intense purplish crimson. 

 The seed was sown in 1886. 



To Laelia Latona x (L. cinnabarina $ x L. purpurata <?) 

 (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. Jas. Veitch & Sons, Chelsea. 

 This pretty novelty had a slight resemblance to L.-C. Phoebe x

 and folded back, as usually seen in L. purpurata.

 turned down, and over an inch in length.
