A nota, but the habit of growth, the clinandrium, stigma 
and the special shape and position of the rostellum are 
widely different in this new genus. As a matter of fact 
the crest-shaped rostellum which projects across the cli- 
nandrium and protrudes dorsally on the column is a very 
unique feature, and is analogous to the saddle-shaped 
rostellum in Sarcoglyphis which also has the inflores- 
cences borne above the base, but below the leaves. In 
Sarcoglyphis the pollinia are distinctly 4, and are adnate 
to the slender stipe by distinct caudicles.

Type: Saccolabium micranthum Lindl. 
Characterized by the short, cylindrical column, which 
is somewhat broadened at the base, but not truly form- 
ing a foot, to which the lip is firmly jointed. Stigma 
small under the short rostellum. Pollinia 2, each divided 
into unequal halves on a short, broad, toward the apex 
somewhat dilated stipe with large glands. Lip spurred 
without a backward callus, but the entrance is closed by 
a transverse ridge situated at the base of the lamina of 
the lip.
