Allied to the preceding D. subacaule, but with narrower paired leaves and larger 

 flowers, with a larger acute point to the lip. The flowers appear to have had reddish 

 sepals, pale petals, and a reddish-orange lip.

 Camp VI b, 3900 ft. 



This very curious little species, of which there is only one specimen, differs from the 

 others in possessing a very short pseudobulb, from the apex of which rises a single leaf, 

 which is articulated to a cliannelled petiole or sheath, which is longer than the raceme. 

 The raceme bears a number of ovate bracts, and a jsair of flowers of an orange colour — 

 in other respects resembling those of other species of this section ; the winged petiole is 

 also peculiar.

Allied to the preceding, but distinguished by the thicker dilated pseudobulb, the 

 yeUow-green flowers with narrow sepals, and the hairy ovary.
