the leaves 2 in. diam. Leaves very small at flowering time, when mature a foot or 
more long, dark green, paler beneath. Scape 1—2 feet, rather slender, green, Raceme 
short; flowers spreading, 1—1} in. diam, ; bracts, sepals petals and ovary green. Sepals 
2 in. long, 3—5 nerved; petals rather shorter and broader, 3-nerved. Lip recurved, 
shorter than the petals, very conspicuous from the white disk, broad green crisped 
margins, and transverse red veins of the epichil. Anther-tip bifid; pollinia globose, very 
broad, caudicle quadrate. ЖУ 
Tuber not seen. Leafing stem very short, with the broad sheathing bases of 
Herbarium specimens resemble a good deal E. virens, from which this differs in the very distinct 
prolongation of the foot of the column, and which brings it into the group Cyrtopera. 
The drawing is inscribed “Eulophia sp., introduced from the Andamans by Mr. Kurz. in 1866; fid. 
1867.” :
