petalis brevius ungue longo carnoso canaliculato lineari, lamina ovata abrupte 
acuminata ad basin breviter saccato-gibbosa, nervo in medio incrassato ab ungue

Camps X to XII, 6700 to 11,500 ft. 
Apparently allied to M. monticola, Schlechter, but the flowers have a longer peduncle, 
the sepals are connate for two-thirds of their length, acute and rather similar, and the 
sac of the lip is very short.

Camp XIII, 10,500 ft. 
This species closely resembles the preceding in external characteristics, though it 
is more condensed and has thicker leaves, but the different lip and column make it 
necessary to separate it.

The genus Giulianetta was founded hy Rolfe on a remarka 
from this in habit, but like it possessing a lip adnate to the column, and with it forming 
along tubular spur. To this genüs Schlechter has added G. viridis from New Guinea, 
which is more closely allied to my new species, in that it possesses broader leaves than 
the type. G. disticha, however, differs in the absence of warts and cilia on the sheaths, 
in possessing a two-flowered raceme, a keelless lip, and in other points. a ne
