ing at each end, marked with transverse rings or articula- 

 tions, which have the remnants of membranaceous scales attached 

 to them, and are striated longitudinally, sometimes reticulated. 

 Leaves two, terminal. Racemes from the leafless pseudobulbs, 

 three or four from each, arising from the apex or from the arti- 

 culations, three to four inches long, copiously bracteated with 

 oval, large, reflexed, purplish-green bracts. Pedicels elongated, 

 slender, much longer than the bracts. Flowers white, scarcely 

 tinged with pale-pink, very much resembling those of Dendro- 

 bium. Labellum oblong, obscurely three-lobed, lateral lobes sub- 

 obsolete, the disk crested for nearly its whole length with three 

 elevated lamellae.
