very prettily marked blossoms render it a desirable plant in 

 every Orchideous stove. 



Descr. Pseudo-bulbs clustered, oblongo-ovate, deeply 

 furrowed, with prominent angles ; the younger ones clothed 

 with brown, acuminated scales. Leaves two from the sum- 

 mit of the pseudo-bulb: linear-oblong, or almost ligulate, 

 acute, quite smooth. Peduncles from the base of the 

 pseudo-bulbs, clothed with sheathing scales, erect, shorter 

 than the leaves, one or two-flowered. Flowers pale orange 

 spotted and blotched with blood-colour. Sepals oblong- 

 acute, patent, an inch and a half long. Petals smaller, 

 but of nearly the same shape and colour, equally spreading. 

 Lip articulated on the base of the decurrent column, of a 

 paler color below, the rest coloured and spotted like the 

 petals and sepals, oblong, the lower half with its two lobes 

 embracing the column ; the middle-lobe reflexed, acute. 

 Column deep red-purple. Anther-case of the same colour, 

 conical. Pollen-masses four, united by a horseshoe-shaped 

 gland.
