Mentawei-Islands. (J. F. K. Hansen, cuit, in his garden in Buitenzorg)'. 



A near ally of L. pallida Lndl. and L. latifolia Lndl., but with 

 smaller more crowded flowers. In the form of the bracts and the colour 

 of the flowers it agrées more with the latter, but the lip is laciniate at 

 the apex. 



L. Scortechinii Hook. f. and L. robusta Hook. f. should be compared 

 with it.
