Harwas. Flowered at Kew in August 1894, the plant having 
been received from the Hongkong Botanie Garden, with other 
Hainan orchids. 
An anomalous little species, differing from every other iu its 
tufted habit and absence of pseudobulbs. The flowers are white, 
with a pair of maroon stripes at the base of the petals and 
lateral sepals, the dorsal sepal having four. The front lobe of 
the lip is yellow, and the angles of the side-lobes maroon-purple. 
It approaches nearest to the section Bulbodium.
