longer than the leaves (in wild' specimens nine or ten feet 

 long). Sepals with crisp and serrate margins, the upper one 

 kidney-shaped, the lateral ones very much longer, obovate 

 and spread open, of a brown chocolate colour, tipped and 

 margined with yellow. Petals same colour as the sepals, 

 than which they are much shorter, ovate, acute, connivent. 

 Lip very small, hastate, the side portions being acuminate 

 and three times less than the central, which is linear, obtuse, 

 and narrowed in the centre, with a depressed, serrate, or 

 crenulate crest ; the colour is similar to that of the sepals 

 and petals, with more yellow about the crest. Column with 

 awl-shaped, ascending wings. — J. Bateman.
