scales, and terminated by a single leaf, about a foot long, 
lanceolate, striated. Scape from the base of a pseudo- 
bulb, full three feet long, as thick as a goose-quill near the 
base, terete, jointed, with sheathing scales, which gradually 
pass into subulate bracteas at the base of the pedicels. 
Flowers in a long, simple raceme, destitute of scent. Sepals 
united at their base, linear-lanceolate, the uppermost one 
the broadest ; petals similar to the lateral sepals in shape 
and size, and both sepals and petals greenish-yellow, 
blotched with brown. Lip moderately large, contracted at 
the base and tapering into a short stipes : lateral lobes ob- 
solete, unless the two large, upright, oblong, fleshy, la- 
mellz constituting a conspicuous crest near the base of the 
labellum can be so called, and which are yellow tinged 
with rose-colour and white :—middle lobe large, broadly 
ovate, acuminate, waved, especially at the margin, the apex 
reflexed : the colour is white, tinged with flesh colour and 
yellow, and it is faintly striated. Column elongated, cylin- 
drical, dingy yellow spotted with reddish colour, a little 
thickened upwards and there furnished with two conspi- 
cuous orange-coloured projecting wings, one on each side. 
Anther-case helmet-shaped Pollen-masses two, obovate, 
waxy, obscurely two-lobed behind : these are fixed upon a 
slender caudicle, at the base of which is a linear, brown 
gland.
