g he pseudobulbs of this fine Trichopilia are oval, greatly compressed, 
) almost sharp-edged, slightly rugose, green, 2 to 2 1/2 inches long, 
| each one bearing a single leaf, like all the other species of the genus. 
The leaves are almost smooth, parchment-like, broadly-lanceolate, acute at 
the apex, recurvate, dark green, 5 1/2 to 7 1/2 inches long. The peduncle is 
deflexed, generally bi-florous, about equal to the pseudobulbs. Flowers drooping, 
attaining 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches in diameter when well expanded. Sepals and petals 
nearly of the same size and shape, expanded, linear-lanceolate, acute, not twisted 
but wavy on the edges, of a blood-red more or less vivid and often ornamented 
with a narrow yellowish-white border. The lip is longer than the sepals, of a 
darker tint than the rest of the perianth, with a dark crimson throat, whitish 
outside, rolled up, funnel-shaped, with two small dimples at the base, tri-lobed, 
the lobes greatly and irregularly crisped on the edges, the lateral rounded, the 
terminal dilated and bifid. Clinandrium membranaceous, tri-lobed, with almost 
equal divisions and fringed-margins. 
In the variety marginata, the pseudobulbs are shorter; the peduncles are 
often tri-florous; the flowers are larger and of a deeper coloration; the sepals
