238 THE WOODLANDS ORCHIDS 



abound in this genus — palest lilac freckled with purple, and 

 tailed. 



Coccinea. — Rosy pink above, glowing scarlet below. 



Macrura. — One of the few Masdevallias which do not 

 please my eye, but very rare. Immense, as much as twelve 

 inches long, counting the yellow tails, rough of surface, 

 vaguely brown in colour, with darker spots. 



Peristeria. — Greenish yellow, freely speckled with purple ; 

 yellow-tailed. 



Melanopus. — Small, white, dotted with purple and yellow- 

 tailed. 



WaUisii stupenda. — Pale lemon colour splashed with 

 chocolate. There is a curious white excrescence on each side 

 the column, dotted with scarlet.
