"This very closely resembles S. suaveolens Hook. f. in habit, 

 but has a remarkably elongated spur. Identical with a specimen 

 collected by A. Loher (590), and unlocalized except for the gen- 

 eral ticket ' Central Luzon.'" R. A. Rolfe in note on Elmer 6784. 

 The middle lobe of the labellum in side view resembles very 

 much in outline the curved leg with ball foot of a Chippendale 

 chair.
