â 348 ORCHID-GROWERS MANUAL. stems bear a few lanceolate acuminate leaves on their upper part, and opposite to them at the nodes a four- or five-flowered raceme of extremely beautiful flowers, which are flattened vertically so as to appear half expanded, and consist of lanceolate sepals, oblong lanceolate broader petals of a bright pinkish-rose, and a spathulate-trapeziform lip, which is white in the lower part, with small purple spots in the throat, a large purple blotch on the disk, and an ovate rosy-pink front lobe marked with lines of darker rose.
