purple-rose in colour, and somewhat veined with a darker shade on the 
petals. It received a First-class Certificate.

present form is of vigorous habit, and has green sepals and petals spotted 
with brown, and a white lip beautifully veined with purple.

petals, and the lip rich claret-purple in front with some white markings at 
the base.
