bearing a pair of leaves at the extremity, which are lan- 
ceolate, even on the surface, and more or less recurved. 
Scape arising from the base of the bulb on one side, and 
from within a leafy sheath, short, bearing rather a long, 
drooping raceme of many fragrant greenish-yellow flowers, 
more remarkable for their scent than their beauty. Sepals 
oblong, waved, acute, the two lateral or lower ones com- 
bined together for nearly their whole length, the extremities 
straight, not in the least spreading. Lip broadly oblong, 
yellow, crested at the base with two crenate white mem- 
branes, and bearing two oblong tubercles near the middle, 
where the lip is very suddenly and much reflexed, the apex 
rather acute, entire. Colwmn nearly white, semicylindrical, 
with a deep orange margin round the stigma. Anthers 
hemispherical. Germen clavate, subtended by a white, 
membranous, sheathing bractea, nearly as long as itself.
