Pedicel and ovary white. Flowers odorless. Sepals white, ir- 

 regularly splotched and stained near the apex with rose purple. 

 Petals similar, but Math the purplish markings extending in 

 broken lines to the base. Labellum rose purple with six purple 

 basal hues ; lateral lobes white. Spur white. This description was 

 taken from a fresh specimen which bloomed in the collection of 

 Edwin S. Webster at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, in Januaiy 

 1920. This specimen differs from the one figured in the Botanical 

 Magazine in that the purple markings on the sepals and petals 

 are diffuse and not concentrated.
