Rhizome densely matted, clothed with imbricating distichous ovate scales. Pseudobulbs 
1—2 in. broadly or narrowly bottle-shaped, with dark brown large basal sheaths. 
by š іп, or less, dark green. Scape shorter than the pseudobulb; ovary‏ 3—6 وس 
with pedicel 4 inch, decurved; flower pale yellow with orange spots on the lip, about 
1 in. from the tip of the dorsal sepal to that of the lip. Lateral sepals oblong- 
lanceolate, acute, deflexed and recurved; petals suberect; lip spreading from the base 
of the column, with two ear-shaped sidelobes towards the saccate ? base, and a 
large broadly obovate or subpanduriform midlobe, disk with thickened ridges. Column 
winged; the wings rather dilated above the middle. | 
A very doubtful Celogyne, differing from its congeners apparently in the lip not embracing the 
column, for which reason it has been referred to Panisca by Lindley; but the lip wants the claw of 
that genus, and the form of the flower is much more that of a Calogyne. The drawing does not represent 
the three orange spots described by Wallich (according to Lindley). There are indications in figs. 
1 and 3 of two small tubercles at the base. о? the lip. In the Flora of British India the scapes 
instead of the pseudobulbs are by misprint described аз clothed with membranous sheaths. The 
drawing is inscribed ۴0. falcata, Т, Anders. mss. introd. from Darjeeling; again in April 1876,
