ORCHIDACE.E 



minate, complicate at the rounded base. Peduncle when imma- 

 ture flexuous-suberect with the raceme arcuate, when mature 

 erect or nearly so, narrowly two- winged or sulcate, enveloped at 

 the base by the sheathing petiole. Rachis ±5 cm. long. Bracts of 

 the raceme ±8 mm. long, narrowly lanceolate, obtuse, conspicu- 

 ously carinate, sulcate-concave, ascending. Flowers somewhat 

 lax. Lateral sepals about 6.6 mm. long, 2.5 mm. wide at the base, 

 lance-oblong, obtuse, carinate, minutely cucuUate at the apex, 

 three-nerved, sharply reflexed. Dorsal sepal very similar. Petals 

 about 6.35 mm. long, .75 mm. wide at the base, linear, very grad- 

 ually narrowed from below to a rounded apex, one-nerved, some- 

 what circinnate. Lip about 6 mm. long, cuneate-subquadrate, 

 prominently apiculate, gradually dilated from the base to the 

 broadly flattened-triangular anterior portion which is nearly 

 6 mm. wide, the apical margins provided on each side of the 

 prominent narrowly triangular apicule with about seven subu- 

 late irregular undulate teeth, the lateral marginsgently concave; 

 near the base of the hp there are two indistinct, oblong, subpar- 

 allel, distant calli. Column about 3.7 mm. long, strongly arcuate, 

 gradually contracted from the broad base to the upper portion, 

 with a pair of small rounded wings at the apex. 



There are apparently no near allies of this little plant.
