Dorsal sepal strongly cucullate, subquadrate-oval, rounded, about 
7 mm long, 6 mm wide, 7-nerved. Petals suborbicular, round¬ 
ed, about 6 mm long, 5.5 mm wide, 5-nerved. Labellum 3-lobed; 
lateral lobes not overlapping completely as in the species but 
overlapping only by the anterior margins, broadly falcate- 
oblong, truncate, denticulate at the apex, about 7.5 mm long, 
3.5 mm wide; middle lobe oblong, broadly obtuse at the apex, 
the very tip slightly incurved, about 7.5 mm long, 3.75 mm 
wide. Spur as in the species, about 11 mm long. Column 
stout, fleshy, about 8.5 mm long including the foot.

The living plants were collected originally in the same lo¬ 
cality as the species. Basal half of the lateral sepals light mal¬ 
low pink, upper half magenta; spur, dorsal sepal, and petals 
magenta. Labellum magenta except the apical four-fifths of 
the lateral lobes which is cameo pink. Column white; anther 
naphthalene yellow. 
The variety is chiefly distinguished from the species by its 
more robust stems, more distichous, thicker wider leaves, more 
intensely colored and larger flowers and truncate lateral sepals. 
This interesting variety is dedicated to Dr. J. J. Smith, an 
indefatigable student of Indo-Malaysian orchids, particularly 
those of Sumatra and Java, who has helped us to identify the 
species. The determination was accidental while Doctor Smith 
was studying the true status of the so-called Anota violacea from 
the Philippines.

“A white variety of the preceding, (A. quinquevulnerum), producing long 
spikes of white flowers; grows like quinquevulnerum, and blooms about 
the same time.” Ex Orch. Grower’s Man. ed. 2 (1862) 41. 
In habit similar to the species. Roots fleshy, greatly elong¬ 
ated, 5 to 9 mm in diameter. Stems unbranched, terete, 15 to 
30 cm long, 1.2 to 1.3 cm in diameter. Leaves more distichous 
than in the species, carinate, coriaceous, 18 to 30 cm long, 3
