Scape terminal on the pseudobulb, stiff, slender, . un- 
branched, two- to three-flowered; sheaths cylindric, 
elongate, red-brown, membranous, closely embracing the 
scape. Bracts as long as the ovary, like the sheaths 
membranous, deciduous. Peduncles curved, together with 
the slender ovary nearly an inch long. Flower suberect, 
upwards of one and a half inch long, pale rose-red, sepals 
and petals all pointing forward or slightly recurved, mem- 
branous. Sepals narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, dorsal 
straight ; lateral connate at the dilated bases into a rounded 
gibbosity or obtuse spur striped with red, margins recurved. 
Petals like the dorsal sepal and as long. Lip rather 
shorter than the petals and darker red, three-lobed; lateral 
lobes narrow, equalling the column, anterior angles 
prominent, rounded ; mid-lobe linear-oblong, rather dilated 
beyond the middle, then acuminate, three-ridged down the 
middle, margins membranous. Column rather long, trifid 
at the top, dorsal lobe as long as the anther-case.—J. D. H.
