axillis exorientes, perparvi, cum sepalis recurvis. Sepalum 
dorsale lanceolato-oblongum, acutum. Sepala lateralia 
oblongo-lanceolata, acuta, cum basi saccata obliqua. Pe- 
tala elliptico-oblonga, basi apiceque obliqua. Labellum 
recurvum, prope medium trilobatum; lobi laterales com- 
parate parvi, dentiformes, incurvi; lobus medius multo 
major, subquadratus, apice bilobatus. Columna gracilis, 
in pedem longum producta. 
Plant epiphytic, sprawling, only a portion present. 
Stem slender, terete, arcuate, consisting of distinct seg- 
ments separated by pseudobulbs, each one about 5.5 cm. 
long with about six or seven internodes that were con- 
cealed by evanescent sheaths and bearing at their ex- 
tremities a few fibrous glabrous roots. Pseudobulbs nar- 
rowly ellipsoid, complanate-subtetragonous in section, 
unifoliate at the apex, concealed below by about two 
pairs of distichous, imbricating, evanescent leaf-bearing 
sheaths. From the axil of an inner sheath at the base of 
the pseudobulb emerges a young shoot up to about 3.5 
em. high which is gradually dilated upward and concealed 
by several close, imbricating, conduplicate sheaths of 
which the upper ones are leaf-bearing. Leaves very fleshy 
in the living plant, linear, more or less conduplicate (es- 
pecially below), subacute to rounded at the more or less 
unequally bilobed apex, up to 9.8 cm. long and 1 cm. 
wide when expanded. Flowers very small, apparently 
emerging in pairs from the axils of the sheaths on the 
young shoots, with the sepals and the anterior half of the 
lip recurved in natural position. Sepals and petals mem- 
branaceous. Dorsal sepal lanceolate-oblong, acute, about 
5.5 mm. long and 1.5 mm. wide. Lateral sepals oblong- 
lanceolate, with a very oblique saccate and dilated base, 
about 6 mm. long measured along the posterior margin 
and 2 mm. wide near the base. Petals elliptic-oblong, 
somewhat oblique at the base and near the subacute
