ovate, minute. Pedicels slender, 24 lin. long. Sepals and petals ovate- 
oblong, subobtuse, concave, carinate, ? lin. long. Lip almost reduced 
to a stout, clavate spur, 24 lin. long ; side lobes very small and rounded ; 
front lobe triangular, obtuse, minute. Column very stout, $ lin. long.

Upper Guinea. Sierra Leone: Kambia, Scott-Elliot, 4223! Lagos, Moloney! 
Remarkable for the inordinate proportion which the clavate spur bears to the rest 
of the flower. The Sierra Leone specimen is in fruit only, but I think it belongs to 
the same species.
