I believe that this j is the plant intended by Richard, but I have 
not seen a t e-speci men. He describes the flowers as purpus ; in 
Schimper’s specimens the lateral sepals and lip appear to have been 
of a deep blue-purple, the dorsal sepal and petals of some pale 
colour with purple spots. The bracts sili are purple. e spur is 
rather thicker than it is represented in Richard’s figure 
All the species described are in the British Museum Herbarium.
