Spurs 7mmx thick, i.e. about 1/2 length of vary and thick (3mmx month) barely tapering to its blunt tip, lightish in color sur- fused with purplergreen with a definite darker line down the middle in front. Sepals dull greenish-purplish with 3 obscure veins; the lateral ones slightly rounded at base beneath and spreading into almost vertical plane, the tips slightly curved back. There lateral sepals are 11x4 mm. Sepals all rather blunt. Petals acumular in color, linear, narrow (1/2 mm), shorter than upper sepal with it (the free) forming a hood. Lip only slightly longer than caque, sub-orbicular 10-12mm diam but edges sometimes slightly cur- ulate. Lip slightly twisted or edge slightly droop- ing so as to give a long effect, not def narow at base. Lip is whitish at very base shading into a bright purple which at edges on underside is almost brown. The white part limits itself in a narrow V at base of lip with a purple line down the center of the V. The thich spur approaches the horizontal or vertical according to position of flower but always lies snugly in the hollow of the closing vary. Glands 2, sac1.

Don Rapina. Plant with very few apparent hairs. Sepules two long narrow feet (broadest are 3-4mm) but are more lanceolate than linear. the lowest ones are narrow almost enough to be obsolete. Effect not unlike ill Bot II. Calyx teeth definitely shorter than tube. Fl not more than 10 mm by any measurement. Corolla yellow turning orange. Efflts now 15 x 1/2mm. Many & spreading in ground but not much branched. White effect more slender than expected for l. Crisculatus. Ambels usually 3-4 fl.

Fl. Dr. Lord Alceidie "Albuferd". Agrees in main perfectly with Dec (Bar). Sepals acuminate 12 mm long. petals narrow v liser 6-7 mm wide. Lateral lobes of lip very narrow (less than 1 mm) 7 mm long. Middle lobe of lip deeply divided (to 7 mm) into segments nearly as narrow as the lateral lobes. The "dentelites" below these segs is linear (rather than "triangular") to 3 mm long.

Petals v lip only slightly paler. St about 7-8 mm diam, cross sect much like BvH IllII (in some places almost hollow). St 1/2 in high vs all, the inf now 3 1/2 in high v 1/2 in diam, dense. 12 low men long at 3-4 in long, edges distinctly crisp y wavey & lips incurvante. Fl very like all Cate v BvH. see below.
