“It is about the size of L. siquijorensis; in coloring it comes near the female 
of L. apicalis, but has the red of the crown not reaching the occiput; the tail above 
shows much blue towards the tip of the lateral feathers. I add the description of 
the specimen, which is not in very good condition: Green; forehead and vertex 
red; nape with a slight tinge of orange; cheeks and throat blue; rump and upper 
tail-coverts red; tail green above, the lateral feathers blue towards the tip; tail 
underneath deep blue; bill orange. Length, 165; wing, 98; tail, 44.” (Salvadori.)
