Descr. Our plant has at present exhibited no eaves: these 
are described by Dr. Lindley as lanceolate and plicate. The 
pseudo-bulbs are moderately large, subrotund, singularly depressed 
at the top, so as to form a kind of ring around a short thick beak, 
whence the leaves have fallen; dark green, glossy, the base tu- 
berculated, and partially clothed with brown, imbricating scales. 
Flowers, one or two from the sides of each pseudo-bulb, and 
springing from near the fibrous roots. Peduncle short, sheathed 
below with ventricose green scales ; above bearing a large mem- 
branous spathaceous dract. Flower moderately large. Sepals 
spreading, white, narrow, lanceolate, sometimes with a streak of 
purple towards the apex. Lup oblong, white, three-lobed ; the 
lateral lobes short, incurved, marked with oblique purple lines ; 
middle lobe broad, ovate, retuse, waved, spotted with purple, the 
disc for its whole length bearing five elevated fringed /amelle, 
with a purple line between them. Column slender, semiterete, 
white, with two red streaks in front, the apex dilated into a peta- 
Joid white hood, with a tooth on each side. Anther-case white, 
sunk in the cucullate apex of the column.
