the middle, sheathing only at the very base, obtuse at the point, 
dark green. Peduncle terminal, stout, terete, bearing a spzke or 
raceme of six to eight large flowers at the extremity. Sepa/s and 
petals spreading, all of the same uniform olive yellowish-green 
colour, with a few, scattered, small, sanguineous spots ; the sepals 
oblong, obtuse, even ; the peta/s obovato-oblong, much waved at 
the margin. Jip white, fleshy, not so long as the sepals and 
petals, primarily three-lobed, the lateral lobes at the base rise — 
like two auricles, and almost over the top of the column, they 
are yellow within;.the middle lobe has a deep-orange spot at 
the base, is broad and oblong for a great part of the length, and 
spreading into a broad, somewhat reniform, waved, two-lobed 
extremity, and is covered with innumerable, deep rose-coloured 
granulations, from which circumstance the plant derives its spe- 
cific name.
