which almost meet in an incurved manner and are dark blood- 
purple within: the main lamina or middle lobe is convex, almost 
saccate about the middle (or, as it were, inflated), the apex cut 
into three conico-cylindrical points or horns: the upper surface 
is deep yellow, lich and velvety, marked with blood-purple longi¬ 
tudinal streaks and dots. Column short; anther-case hemispherical.
