Flowers yellowish green streaked with purple; veins, glands, and fringes 
of the lip of the same colour. In this species and probably in the next 
the acumination of the sepals and petals, characteristic of his section, 
almost disappear.

A plant extremely variable in stature and in the size of the flowers. The 
stem is from 4 inches to a foot in height, and while my original specimens 
from Dr. Brown have the petals not more than 9 lines long, I find them as 
much as an inch long in others from the south coast of N. Holland. The 
flowers are brilliant blue.
