Stem, or rather leaf-sheaths, sometimes 1—14 in., as broad as the middle finger, green 
with brownish markings; roots basal, fascicled. Leaves 6—10 by 1—12 in., coriaceous, 
bright green, flat and faintly channelled above, with a slender keel beneath. 706 
or panicle 4—6 in,; peduncle and rachis green speckled with brown ; bracts obscure; ovaries 
about 2 in.; flowers about 1% in. diam., papillose. Zip about as long аз the sepals; mouth 
contracted ; spur short, broad, almost truncate, dorsal callus a semicircular erose scale, 
that under the midlobe of the lip 2-lobed ; midlobe rough. Column very short, rostellum 
beaked. Anther broad; pollinia globose; strap narrowly linear, gland small. Capsule 
‘(in Cachar specimen) 1 in., linear-oblong. 
If there be not more than one species included under C. Wendlandorum, this must be a common and 
variable species. There are several drawings in the. Kew and Calcutta Herbaria of what I take to be 
the same. . : | | ' 
` The figures 1А and 1B of the flower and lip are taken from Tenasserim specimens collected by 
Parish, authentically named by Reichenbach. |
