The color is a brownish yellow and not light yellow, and the veins are very dark Bordeaux brown. Tops for breeding dark brown variegatas. " Prodan: 11 The blade of the falls is described as having a brown spot near the tip below which are brown veins enclosing Sulphur yellow fields. The S. are light brown with darker veins, yellowish, with numerous brown veins toward the base. The style arms are brown (they are yellow in the type). " Rand. : There is a variant lacking yellow color in both S and F, and I also have a similar pale yellow form.
