Stems 6—19 in, from a branching pubescent rooting rhizome, as thick as a duck’s 
quill, curved or flexuous, dark green spotted with red, throwing out here and there 
very long, stont roots. Leaves 3—5 in., as thick as the stem, curved, dark green, speckled 
towards the base. Peduncle supra-axillary, 6—10 in., slender, decurved, dark green with 
a few short brown sheaths; raceme 2 in., rachis rather thickened; bracts small; pedicel 
very short, with the ovary 1 in. long; flowers 2 in. diam. Sepals and petals widely 
spreading, subacute, yellowish, with three broad red nerves, the outer pair branching 
outwards. Zip rather shorter than the sepals; spur yellow, streaked and tipped with 
red; lobes pink, nearly triangular in outline, as broad from the base of the column to 
the midlobe as from the latter to the base of the spur; midlobe with a callus at its 
base; spur with “a transverse septum towards the base"? 
In the Flora of British India I have described S. appendiculatus from Moulmein specimens as 
having flowers } in. diam, with yellow green sepals and petals, the side lobes of the lip acuminate, 
the spur with a longitudinal septum, and the pollinia as very large. The above suggests that the 
Khasian plant here figured may be specifically different from the Moulmein one, which is the type of 
the species. The latter will be figured in the “ Icones Plantarum.”
