5-5-34 vary il BON all II “incurred”) 2/3 as long
as vary. Lip 5 x 5 mm, rhomboidal (narrow) almost
flat. Lip has effect of being unfolded with edges
a little crenate. but close inspection (20x) reveals
a middle lobe more obscure than all others and
much less distinct than all lobes. A rosy
purple (less of purple than in O. Morio). Lip & lateral
sepals with darker dots markings as in II.
Color? It seems questionable but in other respects
this seems to fit desc. and no other species in
SVK would do. P.B.M. thinks this perhaps the same as
6-28-33 but cannot be absolutely sure.
