This species may be recognised from all the other spe- 
cies which I have seen, with the exception of M. meli- 
nantha (Schitr.) Summerhayes, by the marked almost 
naked peduncle which is usually as long as, if not longer 
than, the flower-bearing part of the inflorescence. ‘The 
column is also remarkable, the rostellum curving up in 
front so as to form in continuity with the sloping andro- 
clinium a sickle-shaped apex to the column along which 
lies the stipes of the pollinia. The lip is very concave and 
almost impossible to flatten out while the spur is incurved 
for a short distance at its base; it is shorter and thicker 
than in M. Hlhoti (inet) Summerh.
