rigidly coriaceous, keeled, three-quarters of an inch broad, 

 unequally two-lobed at the apex, deep green. Raceme from 

 the axils of the lower leaves, a foot long, pendulous, rather 

 slender, very many-flowered. Bracts minute. Flowers erect, 

 an inch long from base of spur to tip of upper sepal, bright 

 rose-purple, the lip much deeper-coloured ; pedicels paler. 

 Sepals and petals nearly equal, broadly oblong, rounded at 

 the apex, spreading. Lip formed chiefly of the stout funnel- 

 shaped, somewhat incurved, obtuse spur, the mouth of which 

 is formed by the three small erect lobes of the lip ; of these 

 the lateral are quadrate ; the middle is broadly linear and 

 obtuse.—-/. IX II
