 rowly cnsiform acute leaves, and branching panicles some- 

 times three feet long, the flowers being numerous, and having 

 the sepals and petals golden yellow blotched with brownish

front .lobe broadly subulate, and the disk with two pairs of 

 erect teeth. It blooms during the winter months. This plant 

 is often confounded with 0. gloriosum, but it is quite distinct. 

 A variety, latimaculatllin, Andre, is figured in U Illustration 

 Horticole, in which the parts are larger as well as flattened 

 out and broader, and the blotches of purple-brown on the 

 several members broader and more intensely coloured. — JSIew
