Stems 1-3 ft. ; internodes 1-14 in., slightly swollen upwards; sheaths purplish. 
ves3-4in. Flowers 24 in. diam. ; pedicels 1 in.; bracts small; lip white with 
a large circular golden disk, sometimes purple-spotted or -striated.—In Veitch’s 
Manual the sepals and petals of D. Bozalli are described as equal and similar, but 
I find the petals to be much the broadest. In that work D. gratiosissimum and 
Bozalli are kept distinct, and D. Bullerianum referred to the latter. They all 
appear to me to be like forms of one species.
