It differs from A. bambusifolia in its leaves being nearly equal , and not gra- 

 dually dirainishing into small sheaths as they approach the flowers; and in the 

 flowers being very closely, but loosely. arranged ; and in the small size of ihe middle 

 lobe of the lip , which is almost blended wilh the large lateral lobes. There is a 

 difl"erence too in the crested veins of ihe lip. which are all tliree crisped inA. densa, 

 while the middle one is siraight and even in A. bambusifolia. B.Reg. XXVIII. 1842.38.
