Rhizome composed of a series of flattened triangular-shaped tubers. 

 Pseudostem up to 7J in., proceeding from the summit of the bulb- 

 like current year's tuber. Leaves usually two, appearing with the 

 flowers, up to 2J ft. long and 2-3 in. wide, broadly lanceolate, acu- 

 minate, tapering into long sheaths and with a few leafless sheaths 

 below, prominently nerved and plicate. Flowering stem much 

 shorter than the leaves, rising from the side of the current year's 

 tuber and bearing 3 or 4 loosely sheathing bracts. Flowers 8-10, 

 in a lax raceme, spreading or at length deflexed, J-f in. long ; floral 

 bracts equalling or exceeding the ovary, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 

 persistent. Sepals and petals erect, fleshy, yellow tinged with reddish- 

 brown, the veins prominent outside ; dorsal sepal J in. long, ovate, . 

 obtuse, subcordate at the base, the margin inflexed at the apex ; 

 lateral pair rather longer, unequal at the base. Petals shorter than 

 the sepals, oblong-obovate, obtuse, their margins overlapping and 

 inflexed at the apex. Lip 3-lobed, with long erect rather shallow, 

 side-lobes ; its body streaked with purple on a yellow ground and 

 with three prominent white Lamellae which extend into a carunculate 

 area to within the base of the terminal lobe ; terminal lobe broad, 

 yellow rounded and with undulate edges. Spur short, geniculate. 

 Column short, broadly winged, its foot very slightly produced. 

 Anther yellow, with two short purple horns at the apex, its lip 

 bifid. Pollinia, transversely oval, attached by a broad caudicle to a 

 shallow crescent shaped gland. 



Dehra Dun (Mackinnon, Duthie) ; Siwalik range (Vicary) ; N. Oudh 

 in the Bahraich district (Duthie) ; N. W. India Royle. Flowers in 

 July and Aug. DISTKIB. : Cent. Prov. in the Raipur district 

 (J. Marten). This plant appears to be most nearly related to E. 

 geniculate, King and Pantl., a very rare Sikkim species, but differing 

 in the shape of the rhizome, the much broader leaves and in the 

 shape and colouring of the lip.
