Other Exhibits. 



Messrs. Hugh Low & Co., Clapton, N.E., staged a small 

 group of Cattleyas, Vandas, Cypripediums, &c, and the new 

 hybrid Lselia claptonensis x (C. elegans ? x C. Dormani 

 which the Committee desired to see again. 



Messrs. Charlesworth, Shuttleworth & Co., of Heaton, Brad- 

 ford, exhibited Miltonia Bluntii Lubbersiana, which had pre- 

 viously received a First-class Certificate (September 1891). 



H. Shaw, Esq., Stamford House, Ashton-under-Lyne, near 

 Manchester (gardener, Mr. J. Cliffe), showed a Cypripedium 

 (called C. Shawianum) of the reputed parentage C. Lawrence- 

 anum ? x C. lsevigatum $ . The flower was like that of C. 

 Lawrenceanum, and the Committee doubted the correctness of 

 the record. 



Messrs. Jas. Veitch & Sons also exhibited the curious hybrid 

 Dendrobium Stratius (D. japonicum $ xD. Dalhousieanum $), 

 with flowers coloured like D. Dominianum, and with a curious 

 shield- shaped lip.
