Duthie in Ann. ix, part 2, 125, t. 108. Dipodium scariosum, Herb. 
Ham. ; Hook, Ic. Pl. 1882. 
Pseudobulb about 2 in. long, ovoid, annulated. Pseudo-stem 14-2 in. 
long. Leaves young when the plant is flowering, attaining, when 
fully developed, about 10 ip. in length and 4 in. in width, broadly | 
elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, tapering below into a short petiole. 
7-veined. Flowering stem about 10 in. long, arising from below the 
summit of the pseudobulb, bearing a few loose sheaths at its base. 
Raceme 5-6 in. long, laxly many-fid.; flowering bract lanceolate, 
acuminate, much shorter than the slender ovary. Flowers about 
1 in. across. Sepals and petals subequal, spreading, white or 
yellowish streaked with reddish-purple. Sepals spathulate-lanceolate, 
acute. Petals broadly oblong, rounded at the apex. Lup a little 
shorter than sepals and petals, 3-lobed, subpanduriform when flat- 
tened out, adnate by its base to the lateral sepals ; basal lobes rounded, 
erect, white with reddish-purple branching veins, forming at the 
base a short conical sac; terminal lobe yellow with purplish ve-ns 
terminating within the margin, oblong, with a rounded emarginate 
apex, the margins reflexed ; disk with two prominent crenate lamellz 
and a shorter interposed one, all three abruptly terminating within 
the margin of the apex. Column short, its foot slightly produced. 
Anther emarginate at the apex. Pollinia subglobose, attached to 
a short broad caudicle ; gland conical.

Leaves two, developing later than the flowers, narrowly elliptic, 
acuminate, plicate. Flowering stem stout, 8-12 in. long, rising from 
tho summit of the tuber, clothed at intervals with a few loose mem- 
branous lanceolate acuminate sheathing bracts. Flowers 8-10 
forraing a rather lax raceme about 3 in. long, and about 1 in. across, 
ai first spreading, at length deflexed ; floral bracts variable in length,
