bracts foliaceous, broadly ovate, 11-2 in. long, cymbiform, acuminate; ovary 2 in. 
long, erect, slender, beaked, narrowly winged; sepals erect, 2 in., ovate-oblong, 
obtuse, concave ; petals erect, as long, linear, obtuse; lip as long as the sepals, very 
coriaceous, triplicate in bud, being folded longitudinally down the middle, with the 
side lobes appressed to the midlobe, and each also folded down the middle with the 
concavity inwards, long clawed, cuneately obovate, obtuse, claw geniculate ; side lobes 
linear-oblong, obtuse, incurved, shorter than the triangular ovate midlobe ; spur 
pendulous, subclavate; anther broad, bases of cells shortly upcurved ; pollinia large, 
pyriform, grains large, caudicles short, glands small orbicular.— The stigmatic pro- 
cesses differ from those of any other Indian Habenaria, A. Richard figures them 
as clavate as in most Habenarie, but I have never found them so, though I have 
"mined many flowers, The rostellum? forms a broad triangular acute plate 
extending across the column, and reaching to the bases of the anther-cells.
