Java: Mt. Salak, Teysmann. 
Teysmann and Binnendijk’s description of this plant is really 
a good one, and I think it is quite clear what they intended. 
The only differences I note between their plant and the Kedah 
one are that they describe the sepals as “ violascentia apice 
lutescentia ”’ ; whereas the Kedah plant has them of a greenish 
white; the petals are described as linear, whereas I should call 
them lanceolate. The sepals, which are slightly keeled, are 
covered, as in the ovary, with remarkable crystalline processes. 
The lip bears, on the upper side at the apex, a sbort conical 
tooth. The column is somewhat remarkable; it has a pair of 
broad stelidia, one angle of which is acute. The stigma is 
terminal; but the front margin projects beyond the stelidia. 
The whole of it, including the viscid fluid on its surface, is 
amethyst crimson. The very long rostellum and anther are 
erect and stand far behind it. The anther has a fairly long: 
slender, emerald green filament. The base is nearly globose 
and it ends in a long slender beak. The pollen masses are four 
only, thin, lanceolate, and nearly equal. They are fixed to the 
outer face of the upper part of the very long spoon-shaped 
pedicel. The dise is elliptic, fairly large, and buff coloured. 
The rostellum is large, the edges involute, the apex shortly 
bifid. 
The plant grows on trees low down, forming large tufts.
