S. Keyseriana is nearly allied to, if not a variety of, 
S. Steelii. The ground-colour of the sepals and petals is 
yellow, with well-defined blotches of purplish maroon; the 
lip is nearly white, with transverse streaks of the same 
colour. The flowers are larger than in S. Steelii; leaves 
and general appearance the same.
