A very pee looking species, and I think the same as a Javan 
one that I cannot find described, which has, — narrow petals 
and more aad ane sepals. I have so few flowers of the Perak

there is a broad flat thickened ridge in the lip from its hase to the 
callus at the base of the mid-lobe.—J. D. H.
