The flowers are a yellowish white, the crest of the galea and 
the spurs tinted with a red-brown. It has the habit of S. bi- 
callosum, Thunb.,* or at least of what I have taken to be that plant 
(no. 4554 of my distributions) ; but the galea is different, as well 
as the structure of the column, which is that most common to the 
genus; while in S. bicallosum it is very peculiar, and, so far as I 
have yet worked, quite unique in the genus.

Herb. propr. No. 6090! 
Well distinguished from its congeners by its few and laxly 
flowered spike, its remarkably broad erect bracts, and its forni- 
cate not galeate labellum. The stem is reddish, the leaves dull 
green above, reddish below, the flowers fulvous with red stripes, 
and a few glandular hairs at the base of the side sepals and petals. 
I have only seen three plants of it.
