The variety may be distinguished from the type of the 
species especially by the narrow strap-shaped lateral se- 
pals which are suddenly bent in the posticous direction

basal part of the stipes is somewhat thickened and the 
tapering from above downwards is not so marked. In 
both type and variety the pollinia are of the same size.
