tuso minute bilobulatum, sessile. Inflorescentiae in folii 
axilla fasciculatae, uniflorae, vagina conduplicata sub- 
tenta. Flores perparvi, bilabiati. Sepalum dorsale ovale, 
apice rotundatum, trinervium. Sepala lateralia in laminam 
semiorbicularem, in positu naturali semiurceolatam, om- 
nino connata, Petala minuta, spathulato-oblonga, apice 
rotundata. Labellum in positu naturali conico-hemi- 
sphaericum cum auriculis binis lineari-lanceolatis erectis 
intus basi callosis praeditum. Columna generis. 
Plant small, up to 10 cm. high to the apex of the 
leaf, caespitose. Roots fibrous, flexuous, whitish, gla- 
brous. Stem filiform, decumbent at base, up to 6.8 em. 
long, unifoliate at the apex, covered below the middle 
with three close tubular imbricating sheaths (the upper- 
most much the longest) which are evanescent with age. 
Leaf solitary, elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate, sessile, up to 
4 cm. long and 1.2 cm. wide, minutely bilobed and apic- 
ulate at the obtuse apex, erect or more commonly spread- 
ing, coriaceous, with the mid-nerve generally conspicu- 
ously prominent beneath. Inflorescences 1-flowered, 
fascicled in the axil of the leaf, subtended by an erect 
conduplicate spathe which is about 1 em. long. Flowers 
very small, bilabiate. Dorsal sepal oval, subacute at the 
rounded apex, about 3.7 mm. long and 2.4 mm. wide, 
8-nerved, slightly concave, somewhat carinate through 
the basal half on the outer surface. Lateral sepals entirely 
connate into a lamina which is semiurceolate in natural 
position, when expanded the lamina is semiorbicular, 4- 
nerved, about 8 mm. long and 4 mm. wide, with the 
anterior margins somewhat recurved. Petals small, spat- 
ulate-oblong, 1-nerved, about 1.6 mm. long and 0.8 mm. 
wide near the apex which is rounded fleshy and more or 
less oblique. Lip conic-hemispherical in natural position, 
about 1.5 mm. long and 1 mm. wide, 8-nerved, apiculate ; 
at the base there is a pair of erect linear-lanceolate, slight-
