more or less lightly 8-lobed below the middle, concave 
below, about 9 mm. long and 8.8 mm. wide across the 
lateral lobes when expanded, 8-nerved; lateral lobes 
erect, very broadly rounded; mid-lobe much larger, 
linear-triangular; spur very slender, cylindric, obtuse, 
about 9.5 mm. long. Column short, straight, about 2.2 
mi. long at the back, with a pair of porrect semiorbic- 
ular auricles above. 
This species is at present unique in the genus in having 
pseudobulbs. It differs from Cryptocentrum minus Sehitr. 
also in having longer, narrower acute sepals and narrower 
petals.

A recently identified plant from the same region as 
the type appears to be referable to this concept. It shows, 
however, certain discrepancies. The plant is vegetatively 
larger than specified. The pseudobulb is about 15 mm. 
long, rather than 5-8 mm. long. The leaf is not equitant 
(as is shown by a photograph of the type), but is linear 
and 11.6 em. long, instead of 4.5-8.5 cm. long. The in- 
florescence is also longer, being about 14.7 cm. long. The 
flowers are slightly smaller, but in general they are of 
nearly the same form. The sepals are about 5 mm. (in- 
stead of 6.5 mm.) long. The petals are broadly rounded 
above, rather than obtuse, and the slightly shorter lip is 
more or less retuse, instead of rounded at the apex.
