high. Leaves recurved, oblong, obliquely and unequally 
bilobed, with obtuse lobes, coriaceous, about six inches

ultimately pendulous, about six inches long, many-flowered. 
Bracts broadly ovate, obtuse, conduplicate, about half an

inch and a half long. Flowers white, with a green spur. 
Sepals recurved, lanceolate-linear, acuminate, about an 
inch and a half long; the lateral pair shortly bidentate at 
the apex. Petals smaller than the sepals, otherwise 
similar, about an inch and a quarter long. Lip recurved, 
long acuminate from a triangular base, about an inch and 
a quarter long; spur curved, pendulous, rather stout, 
somewhat indated at the base, suddenly recurved, hooked, — 
and minutely toothed at the apex, about an inch and 
three-quarters to two inches long. Column very short 
and stout, with a subulate, obtuse rostellum, about twice 
as long as the column, and an apiculate anther.—R. A.
