O. rufilabris, Lindl., Sert. Orch. t. 8, A (1838) : " foHis subfal- 

 catis acutis, spica sub-verticillata completa, bracteis ovatis aristatis 

 floribus duplo longioribus, petalis lineari-lanceolatis acutis inte- 

 gerrimis, labello trilobo basi tuberculato sepaHs longiore : laciniis 

 lateralibus setaceis intermedia oblonga bipartita lobis acutis diver- 

 gentibus." 



Leaves 12-52 mm. long, 5-13 mm. wide. Peduncles short, 

 aristate-bracteate. Bracts nearly 1 cm. long. Spike about three 

 times as long as the leaves. Floral bracts lanceolate at base, seta- 

 ceous, much longer than the flowers, the lower ones nearly 1 cm. 

 long, those at the extremity of the inflorescence shorter and not 

 so conspicuously aristate. Flowers verticillate, light red in color. 

 Sepals ovate, acute, concave, spreading, about 1 mm. long. Petals 

 oblong, entire, spreading. Lip rather fleshy, about 2 mm. long, 

 deeper colored than the rest of the perianth, the upper surface 

 scaberulous, with a minute depression at base under the column ; 

 basal lobes filiform ; middle lobe deeply cleft into two falcate diver- 

 gent oblong-lanceolate divisions, separated by a blunt-apexed sinus. 

 Column short, minute; cHnandrium toothed. Anther cuspidate. 

 Capsule elhptic, brownish, 3 mm. long. The divergent apical 

 divisions of the lip and the basal filiform lobes (separated by 

 an oblong disc), together with the column, give the appearance 

 of a manikin very much as in the case of the European Aceras 

 anthroioophora, R. Br., which species has a similar lip.
