Calanthe maquilingensis in general habit is comparable to C. 

 pulchra Lindl. In the form of the labellum, however, it is quite 

 distinct from that species, resembling more closely C. halconen- 

 sis Ames and C. angustifolia Lindl. The labellum is more deeply 

 lobed than in C. halconensis. 



From the material at hand, which represents two flowering 



plants, the scapes appear to be shorter than the leaves.
