lateralia paulo latiora. Petala linearia vel lanceolato- 
linearia. Labellum flabellato-cuneatum, apice late rotun- 
dato leviter retusum et mucronatum, latius quam lon- 
gius. Columna minuta, crassa. 
Plant medium-sized, decumbent with a stout long- 
creeping rhizome which bears leaves at intervals of 4—7.5 
cm. and very scattered simple fibrous roots. Stem grad- 
ually continued from the rhizome, erect above, leafy, 
about 20 cm. long up to the base of the peduncle. Leaves 
distinctly petioled; lamina ovate or lanceolate-ovate, 
acute or acuminate, broadly cuneate to subcordate at the 
base, up to 5.5 cm. long and 8 cm. wide; petioles stout, 
channelled, with slightly dilated tubular sheathing bases, 
about 2.5 cm. or less long. Inflorescence erect, about 13 
em. long; peduncle short, naked, about 2.7 cm. or more 
long; racemes subdensely many-flowered; floral bracts 
narrowly triangular-lanceolate, acuminate, up to 1.1 cm. 
long. Flowers small, ‘‘pale yellow-greenish.’’ Sepals and 
petals reflexed, with revolute margins in natural position. 
Dorsal sepal lanceolate-oblong, subacute to abruptly ob- 
tuse, about 6—6.6 mm. long and 1.8 mm. wide. Lateral 
sepals similar, oblong-lanceolate, subacute, slightly ob- 
lique, about 6—6.6 mm. long and 2.2 mm. wide. Petals lin- 
ear or Janceolate-linear, abruptly truncate and minutely 
retuse at the apex, 6.3-6.9 mm. long and 1 mm. wide near 
the base. Lip flabellate-cuneate, rather abruptly dilated 
from avery short cuneate base, lightly retuse and bluntly 
mucronate at the broadly rounded apex, with the anterior 
margins irregularly crenulate-dentate, about 7-8 mm. 
long in the middle and 10-183 mm. wide; disc with a cen- 
tral thickened band extending through the middle. Col- 
umn minute, stout, about 1-1.2 mm. high at the back. 
This species apparently lacks any close ally. It is vege- 
tatively similar to Liparis brachystaliv Reichb.f. and 
florally very like L. elegantula Kriinzl.
