Height of entire plant 12 to 18 in.; tubers irregularly ellipsoid. Stem with 
several wide-mouthed blunt sheaths near the base. Leaves three to five, about the middle 
of the stem, unequal, oblong or ovate-oblong, acute or sub-acute, slightly narrowed 
to the widely sheathing base, the middle ones the largest; length 1:5 to 9:5 
in., breadth “5 to 1 in. Upper part of stem naked, except for one or two lanceolate 
bracts about °5 in. long. Spike narrow, 1°5 to 95 in. long, with numerous rather 
crowded flowers about “15 in. in diam. at the mouth; floral bract lanceolate, acuminate, 
erect, longer than the sessile erect ovary. Sepals sub-equal, elliptic, sub-acute, not 
spreading, the dorsal very concave and the lateral pair more or less so. Petals 
fleshy, somewhat shorter than the sepals, broadly ovate-elliptic, gibbous at the middle 
on the inner edges, the apex obtuse, the base obliquely cut away on the inner 
side. Lip slightly longer than the sepals, with a small globose sac at the base, 
concave, 3-lobed; the side lobes short, oblong, their apices blunt, pointing forwards; 
the apical lobe broadly oblong, blunt. Column short and broad. Anther-cells parallel, 
without tubes; pollinia obovoid, their caudicles slender and short; the glands orbicular, 
minute; staminodes large, sub-orbicular, situated at the sides of the anther-cells; infertile 
stigma large, with two broad lobes, a polliniar gland resting on each. Stiymas two, 
oblong-orbicular, situated below the staminodes.
