in. aceme from the base of the pseudo-bulb, longer than the leaves, егесі, short, 
2- or 3-flowered; the peduncle much longer than the pseudo-bulbs, enveloped almost 
to the top in wide spathaceous bracts which enclose at the summit the two young 
leaves. Flowers 2 in. in diam., white; floral bract oblong, cymbiform, acute, longer 
than the stalked ovary. Sepals and petals sub-equal in length; the petals narrower, 
oblong-lanceolate, acute, spreading. Lip oblong; the lateral lobes large, rounded, 
crenulate in front, separated by a constriction from the oblong, acute, recurved entire 
terminal lobe; dise between the side lobes with two large thick crenate ridges and 
a short small one between them at the anterior end. Column with a broad hood-

The flower is white with the exception of some streaks and a large blotch of 
yellow on the lip. This is closely allied to €. corymbosa, Lindl., but differs in having 
shorter peduncles which are more completely enveloped in sheathing bracts larger and 
wider than those of that species. The racemes are also more erect and have fewer 
flowers, and the latter are inodorous.

Pseudo-buibs long, cylindric, slightly thickened towards the sheathed base, polished, 
15 to 9:5 in. long, rising at distances of 2 to 4 in. from a rather stout imbricately 
sheathed rhizome. Leaves in pairs, thinly coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, acute, tapering at 
the base into the short petiole; length 4 to 5 in., breadth 1 to 1:5 in. Inflorescence 
terminal, bearing three flowers which expand singly. lowers about 2 in. across; 
floral bract coriaceous, 1:25 in. long, ovate-lanceolate, convolute, caducous. Sepals sub- 
equal, ovate-lanceolate, acute, spreading. Petals linear, blunt, spreading or reflexed. 
Lip oblong; the lateral lobes narrow, recurved; the terminal lobe broadly oblong, 
its edges and upper surface with stiff black hairs; the disc with two crisped lamelle 
from base to apex. Column curved, broadly winged in its upper half. Poliinia dimi-
