Lissochilus Lindleyanus: bracteis linearitriangulis brevissimis 
(0,003 — 0,005 longis), sepalis ligulatis obtusis (0,02 — 0,003), tepalis oblongis 
obtusis (0,02:0,009), labelli lobis lateralibus semioblongis, lobo medio antico 
producto paulo angustiore ligulato integerrimo retuso, carinis ternis incrassatis antice

Planta Lissochilo longifolio Benthamiano longe validior. Folia ad 1, alta, 
0,015 lata, plurinervia, acuminata, telae rigidae. Pedunculus in hae specie nunc 
ramulum unum inferius praebet. Rami venarum in labelli lobis lateralibus ramulis 
numerosis anastomosantibus ornati, qui in Lissochilo longifolio desiderantur. Labelli 
lobus anticus integerrimus ac fabrica callorum speciem multo robustiorem facillime 
distinguunt, quam ill b. Lindley oculo suo aquilino statim cognovisset, nisi labor 
ille jam statu valde aegroto confectus fuisset. 5
