many-flowered; peduncle closely clothed with appressed 
obtuse sheathing green bracts ; rachis rather flexuous ; flowers

small disk which bears a 4-lobed appressed callus ; midlobe 
much longer than the rest of the lip, linear, dilated or spa- 
thulate at the obtuse tip, obscurely channelled above. Column 
rather slender, rose-coloured, with a 3-toothed white mem- ~ 
branous tip.—J. D. H.
