rous varieties occur in our gardens, varying in colour and in the. 
spotting of the lip. One, called Barkeriana, looks like S. insignis, 
with the lip of S. ocuwlata, and is very handsome; the sepals, 
petals, and column are covered with numerous purple freckles 
rather than spots, which as the flower fades run together, as if 
their colouring matter were dissolved ; so that at last the flower 
becomes of a dull wine-red tint.”
