Sepals ovate-lanceolate, nearly equal, the lower connate 

 with the elongated process of the column ; petals of the 

 same shape, but smaller. Lip articulated with the 

 column, the disc of the middle lobe, which is fringed, 

 terminated abruptly by a broad, furrowed crest. Column 

 bordered, clavate. Pollen masses 4, attached to the gland 

 by a common stalk. 



The bulbs, as they are improperly but commonly called, 

 of this tribe of Orchideae, are in fact stems in a particular 

 state : Botanists have as yet given no definite napie to 

 them, wherefore we propose hereafter to distinguish them 

 by the denomination oi pseudo-bulbi .
