This looks like O. speciosa more than O. maseula, but differs entirely in 
the form of the lip.

My specimens of this plant from Baron von Jacquin have altogether the 
habit of O. mascula ; from which, however, they seem to differ essentially 
in the very taper pointed sepals, and in the form of the lip. It may, how- 
ever, be doubted whether it is anything more than a variety of O. mascula.
