This densely villous and silky-spiked species I think is different from 
all the preceding five Javanese ones. I am uncertain about the label- 
lum, as the specimen in Sir W. Hooker's herbarium has only a few 
flowers, which I am unwilling to disturb. The almost capillary end of 
one of the outer lacini: extends beyond the apex of the advanced 
flower-bud. The tube is villous, and nearly five inches long.
