one is longest and the lateral ones 
with their fleshy lobulate base spread onto the lateral 
lobes. Column short and stout, lightly dilated above in

Kpidendrum reflevilobum is allied to LH. tricarimatum 
Rolfe, but appears to differ in having scarlet and yellow, 
not purple, flowers, in the form of the petals and in the 
reflexed oval lateral lobes of the lip whose lateral keels 
ure entire except at the base.
