pairs. Pedicels and slender ovaries rather long, red. Sepals 
spreading, oblong, obtuse. Pe/a/s similar to them, but broader 
and subrotund, also spreading. Zip nearly cordate, contracted 
into a claw at the base, entire, scarcely, or but very obscurely, 
three-lobed, obtuse or retuse at the point, plaited on each side at 
the base, forming a slipper-like cavity: the mner or upper surface 
is downy, except the disc, which is obscurely striated : the base 
externally forms a very obtuse spur. Column very short, decur- 
rent to where it joins the labellum. Anther-case operculiform.
