Observation. 
This species lias some resemblance in the shape of its flowers to Anguloa super- 
ba , Humb. et Bonpl. nov. gen. i. 343. tab. 93. The leaves are remarkably stiff and 
glossy. The flowers are very showy, of a pale yellow color, marked with innumerable 
purple, small spots ; the outer sepals, as well as the labellum, are very thick; the lattei 
dark purple on the upper, and almost white on the under surlace. Their structure is 
entirely that of the genus to which I have referred the plant.
