purple, beautifully undulate, and with the usual deep yellow markings in 
the throat. We believe that it may be referred to the variety magnifica. 
A complete list of varieties was given at pp. I14-I19 of our third volume.

open, with the front lobe of the richest crimson, inclining to rich brown

at the beautifully undulate margin; and the side lobes deep yellow veined
