 their long tendril-like recurved tips call to mind 0. cirrhosum; the sepals and 

 petals are nearly equal at their bases, and in a band up the middle, one-third 

 their length they are cream-coloured, with three to five bright brownish-red 

 blotches ; the remainder or the greater part of the sepals and petals are bright 

 rosy-purple, with a well-defined lemon-yellow margin, the reverse of the flower 

 being almost as richly coloured as in the front ; the long narrow labellum,
