The rather thick strong roots spring from the base of the 
elongated distichous-leaved stem which is almost completely 
covered with the firm rather thick persistent bases (7-5 lines 
long) of the leaves and reaches over a foot in length. The linear 
coriaceous leaf-blades separate in drying, and are 5-6 inches 
long, 34-4 lines broad, with a very unequally bilobed apex. The 
lateral flower-spikes are shorter than the leaves (35-5 inches 
long) and bear numerous small flowers in the axils of short 
amplexicaul truncate bracts 3 line long. The open flowers 
measure about half an inch across. The dorsal sepal is 3 lines 
long by 1 broad; the larger lateral ones are the same length, but 
1. line broad and connate beneath the spur; the narrow lateral 
petals are 22 lines long and } line broad above the base, gradually 
narrowing to the acute tip. The lip measures 2! lines to the 
tip of the central lobe; it consists of two very short (4 line) 
lateral lobes on the sides of the broad entrance to the spur aud a
