This is a little gem ; one of the smallest Phalaenopsids, of the same group as P. violacea, with pallid sepals and petals,with a few dark purple-brown blotches on the inner side, but apparent also on the outside. The chief ornament on the lip is the central lobe, a deep purple,fleshy, semiterete body. The lateral lobes are obtusangular, the point of the triangle being obliterated by its sessile position on the disc, with a yellow callus, a purple anterior border, and numerous small spots. A little two-toothed plate lies on the base of the middle lacinia. For some time I have had in my herbarium a wild flower gathered by Mr. Curtis in Borneo, given me by Messrs. Veitch ; I did not, however, expect that it would prove such a lovely gem as it now does in the fresh flower. H. G. Rchb. f.
