The present orchid was regarded as a variety of the preceding species. 

 After careful examination, I have found that the sepals and petals of this 

 new plant are considerably larger than those of the preceding species, and 

 the lips of the former are minutely botryoideo-tuberculate all over the upper 

 surface, while those of the latter are hirsute. All these collectively make it 

 sufficient to regard this new plant as specifically different from the preceding- 

 species.
