Herba species formae typicae est similis praeterquam 
quod labellum lobos laterales distinctos graciles habet. 
Variety /obata is vegetatively identical with the typi- 
‘al form of the species. However, the lip (fig. 2), instead 
of being essentially entire as in the typical form (fig. 1), 
has the lateral dilations produced into distinct, slender, 
more or less recurved lobes. The lip approaches in form 
that of D. muricata. However, var. lobata is readily sep- 
arated from that species by its thin-herbaceous, elliptic- 
lanceolate leaves which taper to a long-apiculate to 
acuminate apex. The leaves of var. dobata are up to 2.5 
cm. long and 1 cm. wide below the middle.
