Penance, Wallich, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1611). 
Very like D. revolutum in habit, but stems shorter not so robust, internodes 
longer, leaves smaller linear-oblong unequally 2-toothed, flowers about half the size 
white sessile, and lip very different.— Lindley (in Hook. Journ. Bot. vii. (1825) 355) 
erroneously refers this to Appendicula bifaria. 
92. D. metachilinum, Zeichb. f. in Bonplandia, ii. 122; flowers 
fleshy in short corymbiform racemes, bracts short, dorsal sepal ovate obtuse 
9-nerved, petals obovate oblong obscurely 3-nerved, mentum longer than 
the recurved acute lateral sepals conical straight obtuse, lip spathulate 
concave lamellate at the base, tip with two small short side lobes that 
overlie the subreniform small caruncled concave fleshy midlobe.

Stem rather stout, 12-18 in., deeply grooved when dry. Leaves 2-3 in., linear-

longer and lanceolate. Flowers nearly j in. diam., chrome yellow; bracts minute ;

* Mentum as long or nearly as long as the dorsalsepal. Flowers like 
those of sect. Formose, but lateral, yellow, or white with yellow or red 
markings ; lip usually narrower than broad, very narrow in D. nutans, 
Jerdonianum & Arachnites. (See also D. amenum for long spur.)
