Pseudobulbs ovoid, to 3 in. high: lvs. 2, plicate, to 2 or 3 ft. tall and 8 in. broad: scapes much shorter than or equaling the lvs., several- to many-fld.; fls. about 2 in. diam., the sepals and petals red-brown and whitish at base; lip smaller, 3-lobed, straw-yellow with dark purple lines, the crest bright yellow; column stout and incurved; pollinia of 2 unequal pairs. Probably Colombia. B.M. 7262. G.C. III. 11:489; 29:248. J.H. III. 42:277. G.W. 15, p. 431. — The cult. is similar to that for houlletia; to be potted in a mixture of peat, sphagnum and a little fibrous loam; should be rested after growth. It is easily grown and free-flowering, doing well in a cattleya house.
