wavy, with crisped margins ; lip folding at the sides, spreading 

 and curved in front, wavy at the margin, and coloured rich 

 purple, with lilac veins, the rest of the flower being rosy-lilac.

 possible all the year round, otherwise the flowers are apt to fail.

 by the ocean below, and where it is fully exposed to the sun 

 from morning till night. Syns. L. lohata and Cattleya lobata.
