ORCHID COMMITTEE. 
Crttleya Whitei magnifica. 
The parentage of this splendid hybrid was C. schilleriana x 
Warneri. The sepals and petals are of the richest bright dark 
rose purple. The lamina of the lip is large, orbicular, beauti¬ 
fully crisped at the margins, and of a rich crimson-purple colour 
with a paler edge. The throat consists of a blend of crimson 
and orange. It is a bold and handsome hybrid. First-class 
Certificate, Sir Frederick Wigan, Bait, (grower, Mr. W. H. 
Young), Clare Lawn, East Sheen. 
Laeliocattleya canhamiana Rex. 
In this instance the parentage was C. Mossiae reineckiana 
purpurata. The sepals are white, and the petals very nearly 
so, having simply a pale blush, particularly along the centre. 
The lip is of a brilliant intense magenta purple with a white 
edge, and beautifully crisped. The interior of the lip is a dusky 
crimson and vellow. Award of Merit, Sir Frederick Wigan, 
Bart. 
Odontoglossum crispum Kathleen. 
The flowers of this variety are of great size, with broad and 
imbricate petals. The general ground colour is white, but the 
sepals are beautifully tinted with rose, especially on the back. 
The lip is white, with a yellow disc spotted with crimson. 
Award of Merit. There were fourteen blooms of the largest 
size on the spike of the plant shown by Messrs. James and A. A.

Phaius Chapmanii. 
Here again we have a hybrid, the parentage of which was 
P. Phoebe x Humblotii. The sepals and petals are imbricate 
at the base and of a beautiful soft salmon-pink on the face, and 
paler at the back. The side lobes of the lip- are crimson-brown, 
and the terminal lobe pale rose, somewhat shaded with salmon.. 
Award of Merit, Norman C. Cookson, Esq. (gardener, Mr. H. J. 
Chapman), Oakwood, Wylam-on-Tyne. 
Odontoglossum crispum graireanum. 
The sepals and petals of this charming variety are of a 
uniform orang&brown in the centre, tinted with purple at the 
base and white at the edges. The lip is very similar in colour. 
In effect the whole flower seems' of one uniform orange-brown 
tint, laced with white. It is certainly a very distinct and 
handsome form. First-class Certificate, Norman C. Cookson," 
Esq. 
Odontoglossum crispum The Kaiser. 
The sepals and petals of this variety are- not imbricate, owing 
to their being narrowed at the base into a claw, but they are 
very handsomely coloured. The sepals are almost covered with 
a few very large claret blotches. The petals have very numer¬ 
ous but much smaller blotches, and show a greater amount of 
white. The lip has numerous spots on a white ground. Award 
of Merit, Messrs. Charlesworth and Co., Heaton, Bradford. 
Laeliocattleya Fascinator splendens. 
The parentage in this case was S. Schroderae x L. pur¬ 
purata. The sepals and petals are nearly white, suffused with 
a faint purple blush. The lip is of great size and of a rich 
crimson-purple, shaded with maroon at the throat. First-class 
Certificate. 
Brassocattleya striata. 
Tin's strange and pretty hybrid is the progeny of C. Mossiae 
x Brass a vol a fra.grans. The linear sepals and lanceolate 
petals are of a. soft ro-sy lilac. The lip is the most showy part 
of the flower, being of large size, obovate, and beautifully lined 
and netted with rich magenta purple on a white ground. The 
throat is yellow. In the matter of foam it takes after Brassa- 
vola. Award of Merit, Messrs. Charlesworth and Co. 
Odontoglossum ardentissimum exquisitum. 
The sepals of this variety are lanceolate, with a laree rich 
purple blotch in the centre, opon a, rose ground, and white at 
the base. The petals are much broader and white, with a 
rich purple blotch forming an arch across the centre. The lip 
is white and spotted with pumle at the crest. First-class Cer¬ 
tificate. The parentage was 0. crispum x Pescatorei. M. C. 
Yuylesteke, Loochristi, Ghent. 
Odontoglossum wilckeanum venerandum. 
In this instance the flowers are of large size, with long pointed 
petals and richly blotched with numerous circular chestnut-red 
markings on a creamy-white ground. The lip is also spotted 
with the same colour around the crest. First-class Certificate.

Vanda tricolor tenebrosa 
The distinguishing features of the above variety are the rich 
colours of the markings as well as the lip. The sepals and 
petals are almost covered with crimson-brown markings, while 
the lip is of a rich purple-red. First-class Certificate, M. L. J. 
Draps-Dom. 
Schomburgkia elliottiana. 
The sepals and petals of the above species are rosy-violet, 
with orange on the upper third of their length. The lip is 
folded over the column, creamy white, lined with violet-purple 
on the veins of the lateral lobes, and striated with the same 
colour over almo-st the whole of the interior. The terminal lobe 
of the lip is very small and pale yellow, with a purple edge. The 
plant had a stem about 3J ft. long, with a raceme of thirteen 
flowers on the top. Award of Merit, Right Hon. Walter Roth¬ 
schild, M.P. (gardener, Mi-. E. Hill), Tring Park, Tring. 
Vanda Marguerite Maron 
The parentage of this hybrid was V. teres x suavis, and it 
is the first hybrid Vanda, raised artificially in Europe. The 
lateral sepals are a pale blush-pink, while the dorsal sepal and 
the petals are several shades darker, being rosy-pink. The lip 
is much smaller than in V. teres, but so-mwhat similar in 
shape. The claw of the terminal lo-be and the interior of the 
lateral lobes are lined with crimson on a yellow ground. The 
lamina of the lip is small, bifid, and dark purple-red. Award 
of Merit, M. C. Maro-n, Brunoy, France. The leaves form a sort 
of compromise between the two parents in width, being semi- 
terete, with a groove above. 
Odontoglossum ardentissimum numosum. 
The flowers in this instance are moderate in size, hut the seg¬ 
ments are well imbricated and richly blotched all over with 
numerous reddish-purple blotches. Award of Merit, M. Jules

Odontoglossum ardentissimum conciuuum superbum. 
The parentage in this case is said to be 0. crispum x Pesca¬
