To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Fuscatum_, of which the shape defiesdescription. Seen from the back, it shows a floriated cross of equallimbs; but in front the nethermost is hidden by a spreading lip, verylarge proportionately. The prevailing tint is a dun-purple, but each armhas a broad white tip. Dun-purple, also, is the centre of the labellum, edged with a distinct band of lighter hue, which again, towards themargin, becomes white. These changes of tone are not gradual, but asclear as a brush could make them. Botanists mus...t long to dissect thisextraordinary flower, but the opportunity seldom occurs. It isdesperately puzzling to understand how nature has packed away thecomponent parts of its inflorescence, so as to resolve them into fournarrow arms and a labellum. But the colouring of this plant is notalways dull. In the small Botanic Garden at Florence, by Santa MariaMaggiore, I remarked with astonishment an _Onc. Fuscatum_, of which thelip was scarlet-crimson and the other tints bright to match. Thatcollection is admirably grown, but orchids are still scarce in Italy.
