Flowered in the Royal Botanic Garden, Glasnevin, in 

 November, 1913, when it was sent to Kew for determination with 

 the record that it was obtained from Messrs. Sander and Sons, 

 in June, 1912. It is a member of the small group Fnscescentes, 

 but is distinct from the species alrendy know^n. The sepals and 

 petals are pale buff yellow, and the lip rather darker, with 

 irregular radiating brown nerves on the side lobes, some orange* 

 brown on the lower part of the front lobe, and flesh-coloured keels.
