 slender, 2-3 ft. long, scabrous, leafless towards the base. Leaves moderately 

 dense towards the base, ascending, linear, the largest 4-6 in. long, in. 

 broad. Flowers 1-4, on long spreading peduncles subtended at the base 

 by small leaves, horizontal when expanded. Perianth bright scarlet, 2 in. 

 long, copiously spotted inside with dark brown ; segments spreading from
