Detail

Flowering height 250 - 300mm (under glass, probably shorter outside). Leaves broad, plicate, arching, approximately 150mm long at flowering time. Scapes upright. Ovary cylindrical, tapering slightly to the junction with the outer segments. Ovary length:width approximately 1.4:1. Flower shape conical, forming an equilateral triangle in profile. Flower length including ovary 20mm. Straight pedicel equal to the length of the slightly curved spathe. Outer segments are longitudinally ridged, 13mm long by 10mm wide, with a sinus notch at the apex. The outer margin of the outer segments is upturned along the lower perimeter. The mark on each outer segment is a rich green, inverted heart with acute point, extending 2/3 of the way to the base. The inner surface carries a longitudinal green mark covering the central half of the segment, with paler veins and bordered with white. The inner segments are 12 x 8 mm, the inner segment mark is a green, elongated inverted heart extending 3/4 of the way to the base. The inner surface is similarly marked to the outer segments. This variety was bred to be used as a parent in the breeding of yellow-marked inverse poculiforms.
