Pseudobulbus 2-3-pollicaris, 3 poll. latus, ut videtur compressus. 
olium coriaceum li. lon 
diam.; sepala et petala ochracea v. fulva; labellum rufescens, basi 
erectum angustum dein recurvam et dilatatum lateribus defiexis, nervis 
perplurimis creberrimis striatum, callis ovoideis majusculis tumidis con-

This species having a solitary leaf and 3-nerved sepals and a long 
lip must be placed near L. pachypus, Par. and Reichb. f., and 
L. Grifithii, Ridley, both of which have 5-nerved lips. It 1s possible 
that it may prove to be a small form of L. Scortechini, and both of 
L. latifolia, Blume.—J. D. H.
