This has the habit of Vanda Roxhui-ghiij and its flowers 
seem to be of the same texture and size. Their colour 
cannot be judged of from the single dried specimen,

Native of the mountains of Timor. {Not in cultivation!) 
According to Blume's figure this would seem to be a most 
remarkable and handsome species. The flowers are 
inches in diameter ; green outside, brownish 
inside. The lip is pink, white at the base, with a 
singular gauffered surface if we are to trust his 
figure 192, but flat as in other Van das judging from

A native of jungles in the East Indies ; {Not in cidtivation .) 
A reconsideration of the limits between Vanda and 
Saccolabium leads to the conclusion that this really 
belongs to the former genus, on account of its fleshy 
lobed lip and short spur. It has the habit of Vanda 
muUiJlora.

March and April. {Not in cuUivation.) 
Blume states this to be a most magnificent species, forming 
a sort of transition between Vanda, Senanthera and 
Cleisostoma, Flowers the size of V, suaveolena (our 
tricolor), wine-red, shading into pale purple, with the 
lateral lobes a brighter purple.

the middle lobe of the lip is rather spongy, has two 
broad ridges, between which runs a channel, and at 
the point it is almost exactly circular, with a few small 
toothings.
