A medium-sized plant, never becoming Large. Known by its 



peculiar bulb which, in the typical condition, has the sha] f a 



small porcelain evaporating disk with a rim, into which the stem

 showing the remains of the universal veil. <iillei"s figure is also 

 accurate as to color and shape. Cooke's figure illl.. Plate 713)
