Var. 8. sanffuiuea. Lindl. in Gard. Chron. 1854. v. 271. 



Anguloa Buckeri, as originally figured by Dr. Lindley, was characterized by 



Th 



flowers having deep crimson spots, on a yellow ground, and a deep crimson lip. 

 specimen, here represented, instead of ha^dng the ground-colour of the inside of thi 

 flower yellow with red spots is, except the labellum, of a deep rich blood-colour, i 

 variety recorded in the ' Gardeners' Chronicle ' as being in the possession of Messrs 

 Rollison, who sent the specimen here figured. The size and colour and form of th( 



flower are very striking, and 



which, in many respects, it is closely allied 



yellow flowers of ^. CI 



The above-mentioned species, together with A. imijlom, which has \\liite fl 



f C 



form a very interesting and remarkable group. They ai-e all natives ( 

 where they grow in vegetable mould under the shade of trees, a circumstance that 

 should be borne in mind in their cultivation. They require large pots and moderate 

 heat. Mr. Rucker grows all the species magnificently under the shade of vines, 'i iicy 

 flower in the early summer months.
