Messrs. F. Sander & Co., St. Albans. This remarkable Philippine 

 species is of the S. Lobbii section, and in general appearance 

 nearest to the Bornean S. Dearei, but having the curious white 

 labellum spotted with purple, and the broad yellow dorsal sepal 

 veined with purple, giving it almost the appearance of stained 

 glass. The plant is the smallest in growth of its section and 

 bears the largest flowers.
