| − | Limatodes rosea, Lindl. (Caldnthe rosea, Benth.). Pseudobulbs 4-8 in. long, pyriform or fusiform, grooved: lvs. 8-18 in. long, elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, plicate: scape from the base of the pseudobulb, 12-18 in. long, slender, bearing a many-fld. villous raceme; fls. large, rosy, 1½ in. across; sepals ovate-lanceolate; petals oblong, acute; lip 1½ in. long, with a large obovate-oblong midlobe; base yellow, edged with scarlet. Jan. Burma. B.M. 5312.—A hybrid of this species and Calanthe Vestita, Lindl., is common in cult, under the name Calanthe Veitchii, Lindl., which see. It has been said that L. rosea bore fls. as large as those of Calanthe Veitchii, and more brilliant in color. Heinrich Hasselbring. | + | Limatodes rosea, Lindl. (Calanthe rosea, Benth.).
