red-purple, veined violet purple on lavender outer haft and reticulated red brown on bronzed base. The blade is bordered light yellow. The plant is a vigorous grower, with stiff medium deep green foliage tinged at the base. The spathe valves are green and slightly keeled. The flowers are borne on widely branched stalks, and the segments of the bloom expand so that the general effect is that of a short open bloom with cup formed standards. Rating 79."
