claw of lip spotted with purple, lateral lobes purple, midlobe cream-cold., spur speckled 
with purple; column rather short; anther hardly beaked, yellow, pollinia subglo SH 
strap short.— Described from a drawing in the Caleutta Gardens. Evidently a M 
to S. aureus in the form of the lip, but the whole plant is much smaller. The pedunc e 
is clavate, the sepals and petals much smaller and narrower, and as well as the lip 
differently coloured. Scortechini’s drawing is of a young plant.
