ORCHIDACE.E 



bracts ; floral internodes about 6 mm. long. Bracts about 1 1 mm. 

 long, 8 mm. wide, round-ovate, broadly rounded above, rigid-ner- 

 vose, surpassing the pedicellate ovary, reflexed, persistent. Sepals 

 with a broad, reflexed-saccate, more or less lepidote base. Lateral 

 sepals about 1 cm. long, 3.3 mm. wide, lanceolate, cymbiform or 

 conduplicate, strongly carinate, obtuse, mucronate. Dorsal sepal 

 very similar, apex broadly obtuse, prominently keeled only near 

 the base. Petals about 1 cm. long, 1 mm. broad below, narrowly 

 linear, gradually acuminate from the base, one-nerved. Lip about 

 1 cm. long, in outline lanceolate, sharply divided into a hypochil 

 and epichil ; hypochil about 5 mm. long, 4 mm. wide, parallel with 

 the arcuate column, quadrangular, with sharply truncated ante- 

 rior margins that are revolute and thickened on either side of a 

 central cleavage; epichil about 5.5 mm, long, 2 mm. wide above 

 the middle, oblanceolate, abruptly acuminate near the apex, in- 

 distinctly three-nerved. Column about 8 mm. long, arcuate, tu- 

 bercled at the base, broadly winged above, the apex shallowly tri- 

 lobed with a minute lobule on either side of the central lobe. 



Clemens 207 has a much longer raceme of about 30 cm., and 

 little smaller, apparently less mature flowers than the type. A 

 rachis of about 40 cm. is shown in Clemens 200 A. 



This species is remotely allied to Coelogyne flavida Wall., but 



varies in its much smaller leaves with different venation and in 



the structure of the lip.
