Is grateful for the flowers. The Satyriums are most interesting. Comments on the variations in this species.
Exhibited JH's gift of the Satyriums at the meeting of the Horticultural Society and he has been awarded the Banksian medal. To whom shall the medal be ascribed? Any further information on the orchidaceae would be very welcome.
Sends the silver Banksian medal for JH's exhibit of 16 Oct.
