 dififering in the much longer, quite differently-shaped lip, the acute cuspidate petals, and 

 the remarkably long column, the longest I have seen in any species of the genus.

 This species differs from P. papuana in the thicker, shorter coriaceous leaves, the 



acute sepals, and the longer, more oblong lip ; from P. ciliolata, Schlechter, in its much 



larger pseudobulbs and leaves, and its much broader lateral sepals, which are nearly 



twice as wide as the dorsal one and not ciliolate.
