Laelia Crawshayana, Natural hybrid. Pseudobulbs and lvs. as in L. albida: scape few (2)-fld., long as in L. anceps, but thinner and with shorter, narrower sheaths; sepals and petals narrower than in L. anceps, of a fine amethyst-color; labellum open near the column; side lobes obtuse-angled, antrorse, rich purple at the tips; middle lobe cuneate, abruptly blunt, lower half rich purple; throat yellow, veined with purple, 3-keeled. According to Reichb., a hybrid between L. anceps(?) and L. autumnalis(?) or L. albida and L. anceps. J.H. III. 30:67; 54:27 (as L. anceps var. Crawshayana).
