CORDIGLOTTIS J.J.S. n. acn. 



Sepalum dorsale et petala siil:)siniilia. Sepala lateralia paulo latiora, ad 

 pedem «rynostemii decurrentia. Labellum apici pedis gynostemii elastice (?) 

 insertum, siinplex, ecalcaratum, c basi unguiculata valde dilatatum, cordatum, 

 concavum, cum callo transverso in medio. Gynostemium majusciiluni, 

 latum, pede conspicuo. Anthera transversa. Pollinia 4, subaequalia, stipite 

 late ciMieato, giandula conspicua. Stigma magnum. 



Caulis brevis. Folia teretia. Inflorescentiae apice dense multiflorae, 

 quaquaversae. Flores singulatim florentes, 



This new genus is perhaps nearest to Tlif'ixspermnm, from which it 

 differs in the unguiculate not saccate lip, the long bent column, the nearly 

 equal pollinia and the large stigma. From Chroniochiliis, Chamaeanthus 

 and Sarcocliiliis it is distinguished readily by the four pollinia.
