similarities in the labellum and column, as well as in the 
size and form of the vegetative parts. The petals, how- 
ever, are quite different from those of L. Re/oi in lacking 
the pronounced apicule. The flowers of L. Dawsonii are 
yellow and have an amethyst-purple labellum, while the 
labellum of L. Rekoi is deep red.
