This species, which has not previously been recorded 
from Africa proper, can be recognised by the rather flat- 
tened roots, the long spur thickened at the apex and the 
narrow ligulate erect and concave lip lamina. The mouth 
of the spur is much narrowed by the infolding of the 
edges on either side. The androclinium slopes upwards 
somewhat but the porrect rostellum is comparatively 
short. The two pyriform pollinia are attached, by a stipes 
of moderate length and somewhat widened above, to a 
large heart-shaped viscidium.
