acute, slender, slightly channelled on the upper side, six 
to fourteen inches long, less than a quarter of an inch 
broad, dull, dark green, spotted with brown on the mem- 
branous sheaths. Scapes nearly erect, slender, about a 
foot high, with ten to twelve white flowers, having the

Bracts ovate-oblong, obtuse, under a quarter of an inch 
long. Sepals obovate-spathulate, obtuse, about three- 
quarters of an inch long; the lateral pair oblique at the 
base. Petals similar to the sepals in shape, but rather 
shorter, deflexed, and twisted at the base, so that the face 
is turned underneath. Lip three-lobed, nearly three- 
quarters of an inch long; side lobes incurved, truncate, 
fleshy, with a pair of acute teeth on the inner margin; 
front lobe cordate-elliptic, obtuse, concave, about half an 
inch broad, with a fimbriate margin, incurved at the base 
till the sides nearly meet; sac obtuse, under a quarter of 
an inch deep, about half as broad, bearing inside an erect 
three-lobed crest, yellow in colour, spotted with brown. 
Column club-shaped, a quarter of an inch long, bearing a 
truncate or obscurely three-lobed callus on the foot, 
opposite to the crest of the lip.—R. A. Roure.
