The present orchid was regarded as a variety of the preceding species. 

 After careful examination, I have found that the sepals and petals of this 

 new plant are considerably larger than those of the preceding species, and 

 the lips of the former are minutely botryoideo-tuberculate all over the upper 

 surface, while those of the latter are hirsute. All these collectively make it 

 sufficient to regard this new plant as specifically different from the preceding 

 species.
