as the stipes is long, while the pollinia are larger than 
either.

Very similar superficially to M.caespitosa (Rolte) Sum- 
merh. in Section [I] but the column is very short with 
the androclinium only gently sloping upwards while the 
rostellum and its associated structures (stipes and viscid- 
ium) are also short and broad. Another striking feature 
is the exceptionally long spur (nearly 2 em. long) which 
is suddenly widened near the apex and then tapers to 
the apex itself.

Well characterised by the long slender rhachis and 
hair-like pedicels and the almost cylindrical spur about 
three times as long as the lip lamina and slightly con- 
stricted about one-third below the apex. The rostellum 
and stipes are short and the general structure strongly 
resembles that of MZ. Hirschbergu Summerhayes de- 
scribed above. M. Perrier’, however, has much longer
