per medium carinata, prope apicem glandulosa. Inflores- 
centiae axillares, laxe pauciflorae. Flores succedanei. Se- 
pala acuta, extus per medium carinata, uninervia. Petala 
multo majora, rhombico-ovata, septemnervia, intus prope 
basim glandulosa. Labellum transverse ellipticum, latius 
quam longius, acutum, prope basim glandulosum, callo 
bullato utrinque ornatum. Columna inaequaliter setosa, 
dense et breviter glandulosa. 
Roots vermiform, whitish, longitudinally sulcate 
when dry. Stems short, concealed by the sheaths of the 
distichous linear-lanceolate leaves, the entire plant in- 
cluding the inflorescence 10-14 cm. tall. Leaves 1-8 em. 
long, up to 8 mm. or more wide, obliquely ascending, 
distinctly carinate when dry, acute, with the apical mar- 
gin minutely glandulose. Peduncles axillary, together 
with the raceme 10—-138.5 cm. or more long, smooth. 
Flowers 21-23 mm. across, opening in succession, usually 
two being simultaneously expanded, the rachis elongat- 
ing as the buds mature. Bracts triangular, acute, fleshy, 
much shorter than the slender pedicels of the flowers. 
Pedicels together with the ovary about 1.6 em.long when 
the flowers are fully developed. Sepals similar, about 7 
mm. long, about 2 mm. wide, lanceolate, acute, distinctly 
carinate on the outer surface along the mid-nerve, cym- 
biform at the apex, 1-nerved. Petals about 11 mm. long 
and equally wide, rhombic-ovate with a finely ciliolate 
margin, conspicuously 7-nerved, provided with numerous 
glandular hairs on the inner surface near the base. Label- 
lum about 1 em. long, 1.3 em. wide, transversely elliptic, 
acute, 10-nerved, minutely ciliolate on the margin, mi- 
nutely glandular on the inner surface at the base with a 
bullate callus on each side near the base of the column. 
Column 8 mm. long, very fleshy, provided with numerous 
setose hairs on the dorsal surface and densely covered 
with shorter but conspicuously elongated hairs on the
