Planta parva, epiphytica. Pseudobulbi ovoidei, Ifolii. Folium 

 petiolatum, lanceolatum. Inflorescentia in pseudobulbo maturo ter- 

 minalis, laxa, pedunculo flliformi, evaginulato, superne verrucu- 

 loso, rachide tlexuosa, quadrangula, muriculata, bracteis alterna- 

 tim bifariis, persistentibus, ovatis, involutis, ovarium pedicellatura 

 muriculatum superantibus. 



Although the anther and pollinia are missing I think that 

 it is inévitable to draw up a new genus. This has much the 

 habit of a Dendroahilum, but is distinct in the form of the pé- 

 tais and lip and the basai stigma. 



The form of the lip agrées more or less with that of a Pa»i- 

 sea and the dorsal sepal is hooded at the base like the lip in 

 Crijptostylis. It is to be noted, however, that the available mate- 

 rial was very much pressed so that further confirmation is wanted. 



The double indumentum is very remarkable; the petals and 

 lip are puberulous on both sides, whereas the sepals on the out- 

 side, the petals on both sides at the base, the pedicels, ovaries 

 and rachis are covered vvith short black murices.
