CONSPECTUS TABULARUM. 56 
of 1-1} inches. Ovary 14 inch long, sessile. Jowers pink or purple. 
Labellum on a long, slender, channelled claw, bluntly 3-lobed and 
crenate. 
A remarkable plant. It varies in the length of the claw of the 
labellum, the bluntness or sharpness of the labellum-lobes, the length of 
the spur of the galea, and the colour of the flower. Is D. atropurpurea, 
Sond. distinct? Perhaps even D. tripartita, Lindl., may be an extreme 
variety.
