This differs from Sarcopodium laurifolium Krzl., which Schlechter 

 united with D. macropodum Hook. f., by the larger pseudobulbs and leaves, 

 laxer and less-flowered inflorescence, much larger flovc^ers and the lip with 

 différent calli and a very warty midlobe. 



I should not be surprised, when D. interruptum }.]. S. ^nd Sarcopodium 

 laurifolium Krzl. would prove to be identical with D. Wichersii Schltr.
