Excerpt from Edwards Botanical Register, or Ornamental Flower-Garden and Shrubbery
The species of Stanhopea are so much alike, except in their flowers, that it is rarely necessary to introduce their organs of vegetation into the description of them. It is in the flowers that their differences are apparent, and especially in the labellum, if colour is disregarded.

Excerpt from Edwards Botanical Register, or Ornamental Flower-Garden and Shrubbery
The species of Stanhopea are so much alike, except in their flowers, that it is rarely necessary to introduce their organs of vegetation into the description of them. It is in the flowers that their differences are apparent, and especially in the labellum, if colour is disregarded.
The present beautiful species is characterised by having the epichilium shallowly 3-lobed, in which respect it corresponds with no other hitherto discovered, except S. saccata, which is extremely different. The inner surface of the hypochilium will also be found very remarkable, being broken up into glandular lamellae, which radiate from the base of a kind of ovate tooth which is itself directed towards the cavity they occupy. Fig. 1. represents this structure.
The flowers of S. tigrina are larger and handsomer than those of any other known species, even exceeding those of the magnificent S. Devoniensis; this is sufficiently apparent from the annexed figure, in which nevertheless the colours are by no means so brilliant as in the plate of this plant in Mr. Bateman's magnificent work on the Orchidaceæ of Mexico and Guatemala.
