numerous small, rosy purple spots, while the front part of the lip is amethyst- 
purple. Lastly comes Cooksoni, which differs from every other in having an 
entire lip, closely resembling that of Leelia purpurata. The sepals and 
petals are light olive-green with some small purple spots towards the 
summit. 
Lzlia x pachystele may also belong here. It has rose-coloured sepals 
and petals, and a white lip with three rather narrow purple lobes.

otherwise L. x purpurato-intermedia. 
This originally appeared in 1855, in the collection of Consul Schiller, of 
Hamburg, and was said to have been imported from Rio Janeiro, though it
