Etymology: In honor of Gustav Mann (1836-1916) a German 
collector and explorer of Cameroon Mountains 
and of Assam. 
All three sepals connate into a cylindrical tube with free, 
spreading apices; dorsal sepal concave, galeate, lateral sepals 
oblique, spreading with recurved apices. Petals connivent with 
dorsal sepal, not agglutinate with it, ovate-elliptic with a long, 
linear claw which are fully adnate to sepaline tube. Lip unguicu- 
late, the claw fully adnate to front wall of sepaline tube, then 
sagittate at base with a subquadrate to trapezoid blade; disc very 
fleshy, heavily papillose-pilose with membranaceous margin, 
not agglutinate with sides of column. Column elongate, dorsally 
adnate full length to sepaline tube, apical free portion inclined, 
basally extended into a short, oblique foot on top of ovary; 
clinandrium subquadrate with a flat bottom, basket-like, the 
side walls free, (erroneously described as wings!) serrulate, not 
connected with sides of stigmatic cavity; stigmata 2, completely 
confluent; rostellum low, hardly discernible, transverse, emargi- 
nate with a small fovea beneath. Anther broad, umbonate, com- 
pletely hidden in the basket-like clinandrium, subincumbent;
