Hab. Johore: Sedili River (H. Almeida, July, 1894 !). 
This is allied to EH. acervata, Lindl., but has large, stout, 
sausage-shaped pseudo-bulbs, and larger, broad, coriaceous 
leaves. The raceme is stout, and recalls that of some Sacco- 
labiwm rhachis ; the pedicels and backs of sepals are sprinkled 
over with a little blackish pubescence. The bracts are large, 
but not as large as those of EF. acervata, Lindl. The flowers are 
whitish, tinted with dull reddish, and sweet scented. The lip 
has a narrow claw full of nectar, grooved, and the sides of the 
grooves end in short processes. The lateral lobes are dull 
reddish, and on the lamina of the lip, which is very fleshy, is a 
raised carunculated mass of a lemon-yellow colour. 
On the raceme I found one flower with one petal much 
reduced and adnate to the dorsal sepal; and another small 
flower with no petals nor column, a ridge on the dorsal sepal 
probably representing the latter.
