Described from numerous living specimens, the flowers of 

 which were, however, somewhat withered. Colour of the flowers 

 dull green with reddish tinges. The species is distinct and well- 

 characterised by its slender weak habit, thin spike, very short 

 sacs of the lip and nearly sessile column. Its nearest allies

 Ict/dnnin, miJii {Orcliids of the Cape Peninsida, t. 30).
