distinctive.

The somewhat stout widely branching stem is attached on the 
lower portion by numerous stoutish branching roots, the surface of 
which is densely covered with minute whitish papille. Stem and 
branches are incomplete in the specimen (a somewhat withered one) ; 
the main axis measures 4:5 dm.  Internodes barely 1:5 em. long, 
about 4 mm. thick. Leaves 5-6:5 cm. long, 7-9 mm. broad. The 
flowers are described from a few detached specimens; no trace of the 
inflorescence remains except the basal attachment penetrating the 
leaf-sheath. Sepals 7 mm. long, barely 8 mm. broad. Petals 6:5 mm. 
long, 1'5 mm. broad just above the slightly dilated base; lip 6:5 mm. 
long, consisting mainly of the middle lobe, 1:5 mm. broad; spur 
3 cm. long. Column 1:75 mm. long. Ovary and pedicel T mm. long. 
Closely allied to A. lepidotum Reichb. f. (Liberia, Lagos, Niger 
Delta and Congo), but distinguished by its slightly more slender 
stems, narrower leaves, and larger flowers with a much longer spur.

Oban, Ekong Ndingane Road; n. 943; in flower May. 
Described from a single specimen. The stem, 2:5 cm. long, is 
attached to a stout contracted rhizome bearing long sparsely branching 
roots, and is quite hidden by the closely overlapping persistent leaf-
