Detail

Flowering height 210-270mm (under glass, probably shorter outside). Leaves fairly narrow, plicate, arching, approximately 160 mm long at flowering time. Scapes upright. Ovary cylindrical, tapering to the junction with the pedicel. Ovary length:width approximately 1.75:1. Flower shape narrowly conical, forming an isosceles triangle in profile. Flower length including ovary 23mm. Straight pedicel equal or just less than the length of the slightly curved spathe. Outer segments are fairly smooth, pear-shaped, 17mm long by 10mm wide, with only a slight sinus notch at the apex, and no obvious 'claw'. The outer margin of the outer segments is upturned along the apical perimeter. The mark on each outer segment is a rich green, longitudinal stripe covering the central one third of the segment, rounded towards the apex, at which there is a white notch, and fading to paler yellowish green just before reaching the base. The stripe usually has a slight ‘waist’ halfway along, occasionally breaking into a double mark. The inner surface is similarly marked to the outer surface, with paler veins. The inner segments are 13 x 7 mm, similarly marked to the outer surface, but with a deep narrow sinus bordered with white. The flower is honey scented.
