А very distinct and pretty plant allied to no species very distinctly, but in 
some points approaching 7. grandiflora, Ridl. Like that plant its stem 
and leaves suggest an affinity with Nephelaphyllum and there is also 
some similarity in the column, but the absence of the spur prevents its 
being referred to that genus.
