As already mentioned in my introductory remarks, I 
do not see how this species can be separated from Solen- 
angis so far as the floral structure is concerned. In habit 
it has long climbing stems and short inflorescences which 
closely resemble those of Solenangis clavata (Rolfe) 
Schltr. The lip lamina is more strongly developed but 
the column and pollinia are much the same as in the leafy 
species of the genus. In S.aphylla the leaf bases are much 
better developed than in the other leafless species in- 
cluded above in Microcoelia.
