 late ovato-oblonga, acuminata, apice in filum producta, basi inaequalia, petiolata, vaginae 

 et laminae glabrae, maximum, quod vidi, ultra 50 cm longum, 19 ad 20 cm latum,

 acuta areta flores attingente praedita, rami omnes seeundi et tertii ordinis basi vagina et 

 prophyllo semilongo obtuso suffulti, bracteae cincinnorum semper biflorum magnae, orbi- 

 culares, apice retusae, 1,5 cm longae et latae pedicelli subnulli. Sepala paulum inae- 

 qualia, lanceolata, acuminata, fere 2 cm longa, lutescentes. Petala satis late lanceolata, 

 acuminata, valde inaequalia, 3 ad 4 cm longa, coccinea, intensius striata. Staminodia 2 

 e basi lineari sensim dilatata, apice integra, rotundata, toto ambitu inter spathulata et 

 obovato-oblonga, basin usque libera, ad 6 cm longa, 1 ad 1,2 cm lata, intense coccinea. 

 Filamentum obovato-oblongum, obtusum, staminodiis subaequilongum, sed bene angustius, 

 apice revolutum. Labellum e basi latiore angustatum, lineare, apice obliquum, dex-
