A small species of Mazillaria with somewhat of a proliferous 
habit, and hence approaching Scaphyglottis: at the setting on of 
the leaves and of the flowers also, there are copious membrana- 
ceous, sheathing scales. The sepals and petals are erect, cream- 
coloured. The column is prolonged below the apex of the 
germen, so as with the base of the labellum to form an obtuse 
spur. Pollen-masses 4, unequal, attached to a large, 2-toothed, 
membranous gland.
