green, coriaceous; pedicel and ovary one and a half inches 
long, the latter very slender, deeply grooved. Mowers two — 
and a half inches in the longest diameter, which is the antero- 
posterior. Sepals clawed, the claw one-third the length of 
the blade, broad; upper trulliform with a cordate base and 
recurved tip, much crisped and waved; two lateral, more 
ovate, obtuse, less crisped, all chocolate brown, with yellow 
tips. Petals rather smaller than the sepals, with shorter, 
broader claws, and narrower, much recurved or revolute, and 
more wrinkled lamin, bright yellow, with chocolate bars 
toward the base and claw. Zip not half the size of the petals, 
revolute, trulliform, auricled, shortly clawed, with a raised 
_tubercled yellow fleshy crest towards the base, and a pro- 
minent acute tubercle on each auricle. Column with short 
rounded auricles on each side of the middle, and a small 
faleate obtuse ascending auricle on each side of the stigma.—
