then leafy, sparingly squamate above. Leaves oblong, obtuse, the upper 
acute, 8-10 in. long, 2-21 in. broad; sheaths oblong, acuminate,

laterally apiculate, 3 lin. long, 2 lin. broad. Petals bipartite; lobes 
tooth-like, acute; anterior lobe smaller than the posterior. Lip un- 
guiculate, nearly simple, linear, 5 lin. long; margin thick, in- 
curved ; base slightly dilated by minute teeth ; spur as long as the lip, 
recurved, filiform, with inflated apex. Stigmatic processes straight,
