or violet, or green, or red. That here figured was 
communicated by Messrs. Veitch in September, 1874, 
and a perfectly similar plant, but without red tips to the 
sepals and petals, was sent by Mr. Bull the previous 
June. 
Descr. Stems tufted, without pseudobulbs, the short 
thickened leaf-sheaths below the articulation not appearing to 
become fleshy and to perform the functions of a pseudobulb. 
Leaves six to ten inches long by two inches broad, narrowly 
oblanceolate-oblong, acuminate, keeled, obscurely nerved. 
Pedunele one-flowered, stout, two to three inches long, green, 
with one small green obliquely truncated bract towards the 
middle, and a much larger brown appressed one embracing 
the ovary. Flowers two inches and a half in diameter. 
Sepals oblong, obtuse, concave, white, with bright red tips. 
Petals one-third smaller, obovate, obtuse, with rosy spots at the 
tip on the back. Lp orbicular, with a short claw and convex 
limb, which is white suffused with crimson; at the base 
of the limb is a deep semi-circular canal bounding a semi- 
lunar violet plaited callus. Column short, broad, stout, not 
winged, white, with a crimson anther and yellow stigma.—
