flowers. The sepals and petals are nearly uniform in size and 
shape, much spreading, almost reflexed, oblong-lanceolate, acute, 
yellow with red longitudinal streaks. Lip equal in length with 
the petals, but singularly obliquely twisted, of a pale yellow co- 
lour, with a few red interrupted streaks ; the form is an regular 
oblong, tapering at the base, with a short blunt tooth on each 
side below the middle, the apex very acute, almost aristate. Co- 
umn slightly oblique, tapering at the extremity into a long sub- 
ulate point. Anther-case corresponding with it and applied to 
the anterior face. Pol/en-masses two, each with an obscure fissure, 
attached to a broad, curved, strap-shaped appendage, and that 
again, by its base to a large gland.
