ORCHIDACEiE 

 Column about 1 cm. long, arcuate, a little shorter than the side 

 lobes of the lip, very broadly winged above, the wing trilobed, 

 with the mid-lobe truncate-retuse. Pedicellate ovary slender, 

 about 1.3 cm. long. 



This species is apparently without near allies. In general ap- 

 pearance, it is not unlike Coelogyne Dayana Reichb. f., but has 

 very different pseudobulbs, far shorter scape, smaller flowers, and 

 dissimilar markings on the lip. C. pulverula Teijsm. & Binn. has 

 similar pseudobulbs, but larger flowers and very different label- 

 lum.

ID. Coelogyne papillosa Ridl. in Stapf in Trans. Linn. Soc. 

 Ser. 2,4(1894)238. 



The stiff tall scape, with a few flowers at the apex, the short 

 papillose lip and the large bracts are distinguishing characteristics 

 of this species. The Clemens and Haslam specimens differ from 

 the type in having more flowers (twelve instead of six), in the rel- 

 ative width of sepals and petals, and in the shorter pseudobulbs.
