stipe with a small gland. Lip articulate with column- 
foot, 3-lobed, saccate; lateral lobes erect, midlobe com- 
monly abbreviated, disc with a hairy callus. Anther on 
both sides provided with a peculiar appendage which may 
be very long and glandular tipped or may be much re- 
duced up to a small tooth. Plants epiphytic with flat- 
tened roots and commonly leafless, at least at time of 
flowering. Chiloschista Godeffroyana (Rchb.f.) Schltr., 
however, may have leaves present at time of flowering, 
as is the case occasionally in C. pusilla (Koenig) Schltr. 
Chiloschista minimiflora (Hook.f.) Balak., according to 
the type specimen is inseparable from C. pusilla (Koenig) 
Schltr.
