Masdevallia chimaera, Reichb. f. Fig. 2332. Tufted: lvs. oblanceolate-obtuse, 1 ft. long and l½ in. wide: peduncle wiry, erect, lateral or pendent several-fld., mostly shorter than the lvs.; fls. opening in succession; calyx-lobes ovate, yellowish, much spotted with deep crimson-purple, tapering into slender tails from 3-11 in. long, purple-brown; petals white, marked with crimson; labellum saccate, white, yellow or pinkish, very variable. Colombia. R.H. 1881:130. G.C. II. 3:41. C.O. 5.—One of the most fantastic of orchids, and the type of a most interesting group. Var.Roezlii, Hort. (M. Roezlii, Reichb. f.). No long hairs on the calyx-lobes, the lobes very dark- colored, with short warts; labellum pink, not yellow. Color the darkest of the section. Often regarded as a good species. Sub - var. rubra. Spots on calyx-lobe brown- Crimson. Var.Wallsii, Hort. (M. Wallisii Reichb. f.) Calyx-lobes with hispid pubescence, yellowish, spotted with brown-purple; labellum white, yellow within. Var.Winniana, Hort. (M. Winniana, Reichb. f.). Calyx-lobes elongated, densely black-spotted. In part distinguished from var. Roezlii by its longer tails. Var.Backhousiana, Hort. (M. Backhousiana, Reichb. f.). Lvs. narrower than in the type: fls. large; calyx- lobes more round, paler, not so thickly spotted; tails short; labellum nearly white.—Perhaps a distinct species.
