According to Schlechter's description and drawing this- 

 differs P. curviunguis from Schltr. in the dorsal sepal being much 

 more narrowed to the apex, the acute latéral sepals forming a 

 mentuni, which is slightly curved inward, and the lip not being 

 constricted above the base. Moreover the colour seems to be différent. 



The flowers are said be white.
