Karwinski, Finck! Well known in cultivation. My description is 
taken from a plant that flowered with Messrs. Veitch in June, 1877. 
A plant, gathered by Botteri in the province of Orizaba (No. 911), 
differs from the type by its broader leaves, densely cottony raceme, 
rachis and pedicels, and larger sepals.
