H. anomala, Lindl., which Kranzlin refers to a distinct section of the genus, is simply 
an abnormal peloriate state of this species, The original specimen hasa trilobed dorsal 
sepal and a simple lip, which suggests a displacement of the parts. The petals also are 
broad and very shortly bilobed. A second specimen in Sir William Hooker’s 
Herbarium, authenticated by Lindley, is in an intermediate state. Krinzlin’s section, 
Anomale, therefore falls to the ground.

34 lin. long; lateral obliquely and broadly obovate, laterally apiculate, 
4 lin. long. Petals bipartite; posterior lobe subulate, 3} lin. long;

Lip tripartite ; lobes linear ; side lobes 44 lin. long; front lobe 6 lin. 
long, rather broader than the side lobes; spur 44 lin. long, inflated 
above, spirally twisted below the inflated part, bent at right angles 
below the middle. Stigmatic processes slender, capitate, 3 lin. long. 
Anther channels curved, slender, about as long as the stigmas. 
Rostellum subulate, 1 lin. long.

Near H. schimperiana, Hochst., but distinguished by its sharply geniculate spur, 
in which character it recalls H. anaphysema, Reichb. f.

Plant 9—15 in. high. Leaves basal, oblong-lanceolate, subacute, 2-4 1m. 
long, the upper reduced to acute sheaths. Racemes rather dense, 
2-34 in. long. Bracts oblong, acute, as long as the pedicels, margm 
and disc muriculate outside. Pedicels 7-9 lin. long. Dorsal sepal 
elliptic-lanceolate, obtuse, 3 lin. long; lateral very oblique, obtuse, 
strongly apiculate above the middle, 4 lin. long. Petals bipartite; 
posterior lobe linear, muriculate, as long as the dorsal sepal ; anterior 
lobe obliquely lanceolate, rather longer than the posterior; margi? 
minutely muriculate. Lip tripartite; side lobes lanceolate, acute, 4 
lin. long ; front lobe linear-filiform, somewhat curved in front, 54 lin. 
long; spur 5 lin. long, cylindrical at the base, clavate above, apiculate.
