The description of D. nycteridoglossum Rehb. f., which is said to be of 
Papuan origin, more or less fits this plant. As, however, the description 
is very poor and the exactness of the information about the origin is very 
uncertain, further comparison with that species is for the present useless. 
The material was very poor, and especially the description of the lip 
wants further confirmation. 
The flowers are said to be yellow.

Though I now think that this plant is not a form of Eria rigida BI., I 
quote it under the above name because I do not yet wholly understand 
Schlechter’s Papuan species of this group.
