ORCHIDACE^ 



apex, one-nerved. Lip in natural position obovoid-globose with 

 incurved overlapping margins, ±3.6 mm. long, constricted below 

 the middle by a short transverse callus forming a hypochil and 

 more deeply saccate epichil; when extended the fleshy hmb is 

 apparently flabellate-suborbicular, but it splits on the incurved 

 margins when unrolled. Column about 2.5 mm. long, stout, 

 parallel to and enveloped by the lip, with a conspicuous stig- 

 matic orifice. Anther complanate-hemispherical. PoUinia eight, 

 ovoid-pyriform. 



This species is somewhat related to Agrostophyllum cyathi- 

 forme J.J. Sm., but has much shorter stems and leaves, narrower 

 petals and a differently formed lip.
