P. rugosa.—This interesting little species is similar 
in habit to P. cristata, but is smaller, having short, 
furrowed pseudo-bulbs, and pointed, plaited leaves. The 
flowers occur*singly or in pairs on the pendent scapes, 
and measure 3in. in diameter. The narrow, pointed sepals 
and petals are creamy white, spotted with dull purple, 
and the lip is reddish purple, with the terminal tuft of 
hairs white. It is not a common species, and although 
well worth growing, it is not so ornamental as either of 
the two preceding. A native of New Granada. Syns. 
P. Sanderiana, Lycaste rugosa.
