Descr. Pseudo-bulbs broadly oblong-oval, compressed, 
ancipitate, lengthened out at the base, and there sheathed 
with leafy scales. From the summit of the pseudo-bulbs 
spring two broadly lanceolate, subcoriaceous leaves. 
Scape from the base of the pseudo-bulb, and, in our speci- 
mens at least, shorter than the leaves, scaly, bearing a 
spike of several flowers. Sepals oblong, greenish, banded 
with brown, spreading, the two lower ones reflexed; the 
upper one broader upwards, springing from the back of the 
column. Petals spathulate, greenish-brown. Lip, with 
its lower portion, or claw, united to the column; the la- 
mina spreading, large, broadly oval, three-lobed, crenate, 
white, the centre dashed with dark purple, and marked 
with five elevated rays: lateral lobes rounded, smaller than 
the terminal one which is also rounded. Column white, 
stained with purple. Anther terminal, hemispherical. 
Pollen-masses pyritorm, curved.
