Type: Grosourdya elegans Rehb.t. 
Characterized by the elongate column which bends 
forward in an obtuse angle at the base of the stigma, as 
long as or longer than the column-foot. Rostellum 
prominent, elongate. Pollinia 2, entire, attached through 
distinet, often auricle-like caudicles to a narrowly tri- 
angular stipe; viscidium triangular. Lip movably jointed 
with column-foot, 8-lobed; lateral lobes erect, midlobe 
replicate on the prominent spur. 
It differs from Pteroceras Hassk. in the peculiarly bent 
column, in the attachment of pollinia to the stipe and 
in the replicate midlobe of lip. Inthe rostrate column it 
resembles Stereochilus Lindl. and Ornithochilus Wall. ex 
Benth., but in both of these genera the column is foot- 
less and the structure of the lip is very different. 
With the exception of G. histrix (Rehb.f.) which is 
referable to the genus T’hrivspermum, the species enu- 
merated by Reichenbach are all correctly placed in this 
genus. It should be noted that the illustration published 
by J. J. Smith under Sarcochilus emarginatus (BI.) 
Rchb.f. and Sarcochilus Zollingert Rehb. f. in his Orchid- 
een von Javaare based on wrong identifications and are 
not referable to Grosourdya.
