differs from C. Medusae in its flowers being ciliated, the petals oblong,

This is a species with the habit of Bolbophyllum affine, or leopardinum, 

 but with the long lateral sepals of a Cirrhopetalum. It has the 

 flower-stalks and flowers of a very pale green, finely speckled with dull 

 purple. The lateral sepals are nearly an inch long, and have a single 

 fold on their inner margin near the base.
