and spots. The figure is no doubt chiefly made up from 
cut specimens of flowers with the top of the peduncle 
above the uppermost sheath, procured from Consu! Schiller, 
and from memory for colours. 
T. sanguinolenta has. been for many years in cultivation 
at Kew, and as in other orchid establishments, no doubt 
owes its parentage to the original specimen sent to the 
Royal Horticultural Gardens by Hartweg in 1845. It 
flowers in the cool Orchid House in January. The leaves 
vary much in form and size, and the lip somewhat in form. 
In a specimen from Kew, preserved in the Herbarium, in 
February, 1878, the leaf is linear-oblong, seven inches 
long by one and a half broad, with a petiole nearly an 
inch long, the peduncle is six inches long, and the terminal 
third of the lip is much broader and more obscurely lobed.
