projecting lateral sepals give the flower a distinct and 
readily recognised facies. ‘The species vary from small 
plants with a few leaves about 3-4 cm. long up to the 
imposing 4A. macrophylla in which the strap-shaped leaves 
reach a total length of 85 cm. These are very reminis- 
cent of the leaves in certain species of Chamaeangis and 
Diaphananthe.

This species is characterised by the broad petals, these 
being considerably broader than long, and the rather long 
slender spur. ‘The rhachis is about the same length as 
the peduncle, the few flowers being spaced out at rela- 
tively long intervals. The Sierra Leone specimen is in 
fruit only, but appears to be correctly placed in this 
species.
