This is one of the most тй ‘orchids in Sikkim. The stems are brownish- 
purple in colour, becoming paler and yellowish upwards. The flowers are bright yellow 
throughout, with a reddish patch on the lip at each side of the column. The anther 
is coloured crimson-lake. |

Rhizome 1:5 to 2:5 in. thick; branching, clothed with large fleshy triangular scales. 
Stems 6 to 10 feet in height and about one inch in thickness at the base, bearing at 
intervals lanceolate to triangular acute bracts one to two inches in length. Panicle 2 
to 3 feet long, its branches 3 to 9 in. long, drooping, lax. Flowers of a spongy 
texture; bract lanceolate, concave, “5 in. long, shorter than the short stalk of the ovary. 
Ovary 15 to 2 in. long. Sepals sub-equal, broadly ovate, sub-acute, sparsely furfuraceous 
like the ovary. Petals ovate, acute, the. edges erose. Zip sessile, without side lobes, 
deeply concave, the base with a small fold forming a pseudo-nectary under the column, 
the apex rounded, the margins undulate-ciliolate; the upper surface papillose but with 
a broad glabrous patch in the middle. Column stout, slightly clavate and somewhat bent 
forward. Anther fleshy, glabrous, its lip entire. Pollinia two, much compressed, thin, 
oblique in outline. Capsule oblong, 3-angled, sub-faleate, 9 in. long, sub-furfuraceous.

ikkim, at elevations of 5,000 to 7,000 feet; Thomson, Pantling No. 87; not now 
common. Westward along the range to Gharwal; in flower during July and August. 
The flowers of this are of a bright yellow colour and have an odour of vanille. 
The ripe capsules are pale brown. This closely resembles ©. Lindieyana, of which 
Sir Joseph Hooker suggests that it may be а variety; but it has larger flowers than 
that plant; also larger, less furfuraceous and much more sharply-angled sub-faleate 
capsules. The rhizome also is very much stouter.
