Descr. Pseudo-bulbs clustered, several growing together, 
about the size of pigeons’ eggs, and not unlike them in 
shape, being almost exactly ovate; furrowed and somewhat 
wrinkled in age. The younger ones are narrower and 
small, and clothed with large, membranous scales, bearing 
at their summit two linear-lanceolate, acute, somewhat 
coriaceous leaves. Peduncle or Scape from the top of the 
bulb, and twice or thrice as long as the leaves, slender, 
bearing a raceme of three to five fragrant white flowers. 
Sepals lanceolate, spreading. Petals similar to them but 
broader ; all very acute, almost mucronate. Lip broad- 
oblong, three-lobed ; side lobes small, erect, middle one 
large, roundish, ovate, reflexed. There are three erect 
lamelle running nearly the whole length of the lip, yellow- 
ish, dotted with brown at the base. Column also dotted 
with brown at its inner base.
