Stem 1—2 in. as thick as a goose-quill. Leaves 6—9 by 1—14 in., narrowed from 
above the middle to the base, rather flaccid, narrowed also at the obtusely unequally 
Q-lobed point. Peduncle short, compressed; raceme 4—6 in.; bracts minute, broad, 
membranous; pedicel with ovary 1--12 in., sigmoidly ascending; flowers horizontal, 
about 1 in. from ihe tip of the lip to that of the dorsal sepal, all white or cream-coloured, 
or with purple markings on the lip; sepals and petals hardly spreading, сопсауе. Column 
rather long, rostellum at length bicuspidate; anther broad, depressed; pollinia 2, globose, 
strap short broad; gland orbicular. Capsule 5 in. long, narrow, curved. 
. The drawing of which Plate 66 is a reproduction is inscribed “Said to be from the Andamans, fid. 
H. B. C., 14th October 1886, G. King.” It is more probably from the Nicobars, whence Colonel Berkeley’s 
specimens no doubt came, but it may inhabit both localities. 
Figs. 1 and 2, flowers; 3, column and lip:—all of the natural size.
