The specimen at hand is the upper part of a branch of probably an 
epiphytic plant. Except in its rather rigid habit it resembles Clarke's 
figure of Cyrtandra radiciflora. The flowers are larger and more beautiful 
than in any other known species of the section. A singular character is 
the absence of hairs on the calyx-lobes.
