 stricto oblongo, sepalis lineari-oblongis lateralibus reflexis

 culato carnoso nudo subrotundo cuneato apiculato utrinque

Mexico. Flowers pale green, with an ivory-white lip, 



whose sides are so rolled back as to give it the appearance 

 of a trumpet. The column is twisted sometimes to the 

 right, sometimes to the left. The habit and general ap- 

 pearance of the flowers, except in colour, is that of M. 

 atropurpureum.
