puiii spbiibilis mm. muni. 
The dark large flowered atro-rubcns type. 
The depth of color revealed by some of the flowers is amazing, the 
sepals and petals are of the most intense purple, almost black, while the 
broad expanded labellums are of a shining indescribable maroon and 
purple combined ; in some varieties there is an admixture of bright 
rose color. M. Moreliana is, with the exception perhaps of the M. Vex- 
illaria section, the most beautiful in the whole genus, as it certainly is 
the most distinct, the large fiat flowers show off the rich purple-maroon 
hues to the best advantage.
