dark brown. Sepals yellowish, marked along the back with 
reddish spots. The upper one which rises erect is spathu- 
late, and appears to have generally 2 spots on the inside 
behind the column. The two lower ones are small and acumi- 
nate. Labellum bright yellow, beautifully spotted. The 
lower division is crescent-shaped, two-lobed, slightly ungui- 
culate and fringed at the outer edge. The upper divisions 
are panduriform and of the same colour as the lower, but 
without the spots. The centre is tuberculated and ciliated 
on each side. Column deep yellow, with comparatively 
large spreading wings.” 
For the previous note we are indebted to Mr. Booth, 
under whose successful management this and several other 
curious new Orchideous plants have been raised at Carclew. 
The species is nearly allied to O. Cebolleta, from which, 
however, its characters abundantly distinguish it.
