7-9 cm. long, one-flowered, exceeding the leaf, lateral, 
with two small apiculate bracts about 4 mm. long on the 
rachis. Flowers large for the genus. Dorsal sepal 10-11 
mm. long and 4 mm. broad, elliptic or oblanceolate, 
acute, with three main nerves, margins minutely undu- 
late. Lateral sepals about 14 mm. long and 6 mm. broad, 
oblong-ovate, slightly oblique, apiculate, 8- to 5-nerved, 
decurrent on the column-foot. Petals 5-6 mm. long and 
about 2.5 mm. broad, oblong-subsigmoid, apiculate, 1- 
nerved, strongly winged dorsally along the nerve. Lip 
about 10 mm. long and 5 mm. deep, unguiculate, cym- 
biform and saccate especially toward the apex, apex with 
a short recurved apicule, base of the sac with two lamel- 
late calli 83-4 mm. long, with two small erect lanceolate 
auricles about 1.5 mm. long and a small lamellate callus 
about 1 mm. long at the apex of the small claw (or at 
the base of the lip). Column about 1 mm. long, with 
two terminal, erect, subulate stelidia; column-foot about 
2mm. long; anther about 1.25 mm. long, apparently 
erect; pollinia two deeply sulcate ellipsoid masses. 
British New Guinea: base of mossy trunk, conifer bush by pond, 
at 5000-6000 ft. alt., Amieng, Morobe, flowers golden with wine la- 
bellum, March 13, 1941, Clemens 12008 (Tyrer in Herb. Ames No.

Pedilochilus Clemensiae seems to be most closely allied 
to P. terrestre J. J. Sm., described from Netherlands 
New Guinea. Pedilochilus Clemensiae is distinguished by 
the longer leaves, shorter peduncle, eciliate dorsal sepal 
and by the shape of the floral parts. 
Pedilochilus is a small genus of about twenty-four spe- 
cies. With the exception of one species in Celebes and 
an undescribed one in the New Hebrides, the genus is 
limited to New Guinea. Pedilochilus is closely allied to 
Bulbophyllum, of which it may eventually prove to be 
but a section.
