about as long as the sepals and petals and deeply emar- 
ginate at the apex, and the relatively long and slender 
column about two-thirds as long as the blade of the label- 
lmn. The incurving of the sepals and petals shown in the 
figure may be due to incipient withering. Its nearest 
ally appears to be V. hiiuhii Lindl. (V. truncate i J. ,T. 
Sm,) from New Guinea, hut this has spotted young 
leaves, less strongly falcate petals, shorter column, and a 
paler ground-colour. V. tricolor and Mueller's plant 
from the Northern Territory have much larger flowers 
with a white or nearly white ground-colour conspicu- 
ously spotted with red, purple or brown on the sepals 
and petals, and tinged pink or red on the label! um, with 
sepals and petals very much alike and gradually taper- 
ing into longer claws, and with a much shorter and 
stouter column.
