PHAL^ENOPSIS 



Hort. (P. amdbilis var. Daydna, Hort.), has regular 

 fls. with the lower sepals minutely dotted with crim- 

 son, the labellum also being heavily marked with bright 

 crimson. A.G. 21:457. Var. casta, Rolfe (P. cdsta, 

 Reichb. f.). Lvs. thinly spotted: fls. like the type, with 

 a rosy tint especially at the base of the sepals and 

 petals, and a few spots at the base of the lateral sepals. 

 Scarcely distinct from the following, but distinct 

 from the type. Var. leucorrhoda, Rolfe (P. leucorrhoda, 

 Reichb. f.). Lvs. blotched with gray in irregular bands: 

 sepals and petals flushed with rose, the former yellowish 

 outside; callus yellow, spotted with purple. Philip- 

 pines. F.M. 1875:166. R.H. 1896:500. Var. Sander- 

 iana, Rolfe (P. Sanderiana, Reichb. f.). Fls. suffused 

 with rose; labellum variegated with brown, purple, and 

 yellow. Isl. of Mindanao. Gn. 24:270; 57, p. 44. Var. 

 gloriosa, Hort. (P. gloriosa, Reichb. f.). Fls. white, with 

 a rose-colored spot on the labellum. Gn. 35:362. 



3. intermedia, Lindl. A natural hybrid between P. 

 Aphrodite and P. rosea. Resembles P. Aphrodite in

 rose spots at the base; labellum small, lateral lobes 

 erect, rose-purple spotted with crimson, middle lobe 

 rich crimson, terminating in 2 short horns. Philip-

 artificially produced by crossing the two parent species. 

 Var. Brymeriana, Reichb. f . Sepals and petals white, 

 veined pale amethyst-purple, the lateral sepals purple- 

 spotted at base, the petals purple-stained below; front 

 lobe of lip red-purple. G.M. 43:63. Var. P6rtei,
