supra glanduloso-pubescens, vaginis pluribus ornatus. 
Spica secundiflora cum floribus pluribus. Sepalum dorsale 
lanceolato-oblongum, uninervium. Sepala lateralia sim- 
ilia, paulo majora, leviter obliqua. Petala oblonga, mar- 
ginibus superioribus irregularibus. Labellum expansum 
in circuitu subquadrato-oblongum vel obovato-oblong- 
um, prope apicem leviter trilobatum. Columna brevis; 
anthera prope basim affixa. 
Plant small and slender, up to about 13 em. tall. Roots 
stout, fibrous, fasciculate. Leaves six, basal, rosulate, 
petioled; lamina ovate, acuminate, broadly cuneate to 
rounded at base, up to 2 cm. long and nearly 1 cm. wide, 
membranaceous, reticulate-veined with the mid-nerve 
rather prominent beneath; petioles channelled, dilated 
at the imbricating base, up to about 1.4 cm. long. Scape 
slender, glabrous below, finely glandular-pubescent a- 
bove, provided with four tubular sheaths of which the 
lowermost is foliaceous. Inflorescence a secund spike, 
8-flowered, rather lax below, about 3.5 cm. long, arcuate. 
Floral bracts lanceolate, long-acuminate, with the lower 
ones nearly equaling the mature flowers. Flowers small, 
membranaceous, with the segments subparallel, mostly 
glabrous but minutely pubescent at base. Dorsal sepal 
lanceolate-oblong, about 5.7 mm. long and 1.5 mm. wide, 
1-nerved, obtuse. Lateral sepals similar but a little larger, 
about 6 mm. long and 2 mm. wide, slightly oblique, sub- 
acute. Petals oblong, very slightly broader above the 
middle, about 5 mm. long and 1.2 mm. wide, acute or 
subacute, with the margins irregular near the apex. Lip 
tubular-involute in natural position with the apex re- 
curved, sessile; lamina when expanded subquadrate- 
oblong or obovate-oblong, obscurely 8-lobed near the 
apex, about 6 mm. long and 2.8 mm. wide above the 
middle, with the basal part oblong-pandurate and the 
apical part suborbicular with undulate margins. Column
