The labellum is pale violet (lighter than N82D) but bdeeper purple violet (N81A-B) with white streaks in the throat. The dorsal and lateral petals are white flushed violet (N82) and the staminodes are white. The floral bracts are red (187A-B) with green tips while the leavesare mid green with sheaths that are deep red (187A-B) and vertically ridged." |
