pandurata, Rchb. f., but with wholly crimson flowers, except,a small yellow 
area at the base of the column and lateral sepals. It was introduced from

in the collection in October last. The leaves are small for the section, and 
the flowers large, uniformly pale whitish-green, and with a four-lobed lip, 
in allusion to which the name is given. Though received with other
