^Pseudobulb about 2 in. long, ovoid, annulated. Pseudo-stem 1J-2 in. 

 long. Leaves young when the plant is flowering, attaining, when 

 fully developed, about 10 in. in length and 4 in. in width, broadly 

 elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, tapering below into a short petiole 

 7 -veined. Flowering stem about 10 in. long, arising from below the 

 summit of the pseudobulb, bearing a few loose sheaths at its base. 

 Raceme 5-6 in. long, laxly many-fid. ; flowering bract lanceolate, 

 acuminate, much shorter than the slender ovary. Flowers about 

 1 in. across. Sepals and petals subequal, spreading, white or 

 yellowish streaked with reddish-purple. Sepals spat hulate -lanceolate, 

 acute. Petals broadly oblong, rounded at the apex. Lip a little 

 shorter than sepals and petals, 3-lobed, subpanduriform when flat- 

 tened out, adnate by its base to the lateral sepals ; basal lobes rounded, 

 erect, white with reddish-purple branching veins, forming at the 

 base a short conical sac ; terminal lobe yellow with purplish ve-ns 

 terminating within the margin, oblong, with a rounded emarginate 

 apex, the margins reflexed ; disk with two prominent crenate lamellae 

 and a shorter interposed one, all three abruptly terminating within 

 the margin of the apex. Column short, its foot slightly produced. 

 Anther emarginate at the apex. Pollinia subglobose, attached to
