 Chron. (1896) 1 : 326. " In general appearance and habit the plant 

 may be compared with Bulbophyllum mandibular e, one of the 

 giants of the genus. . . . The lip of this new species is, perhaps, 

 unique in the genus. At first it is really three-lobed, the side lobes 

 being comparatively small, bent forward, toothed at the margin, 

 and covered with little warts on the inside; the mid-lobe has a 

 cushion-shaped thick base, and a tongue-shaped, fleshy, acute, 

 straight apex. The column is at each side produced into a long 

 bristly acute tooth. The flowers are comparatively showy, the 

 sepals and petals being yellowish-green, with numerous brown 

 stripes throughout their whole length."
