EULOPHIA. 125 
3. EuLoPHiA EXPLANATA Lindl, Gen. and Sp. Orch. 180. 
Height of plant 2 to 25 dm.  Pseudo-bulb ovoid, about 5 em. long, annulated. 
Pseudo-stem 4 to 5 cm. long. Leaves young at the time of flowering, lanceolate, 
acuminate, plicate, attaining 3 dm. in length and 1 dm. in breadth when fully grown, 
broadly elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, tapering into a short petiole, 7-veined. Scape 
2 to 2°5 dm., arising from below the summit of the pseudo-bulb and bearing two 
loose sheaths at its base, Raceme laxly many-flowered; flowering bract shorter than 
the slender ovary, lanceolate, acuminate. Flowers about 2°5 em. across, Sepals and 
petals about equal in length, spreading, yellow with purple lines and blotches, 5-nerved, 
the nerves with transverse connecting  veinlets. Sepals spathulate-lanceolate, acute, 
Petals broader, oblong and rounded at the apex. Lip a little shorter than the 
sepals and petals, 3-lobed, subpanduriform when flattened out, adnate by its base 
to the lateral sepals; basal lobes rounded, erect and forming a conical sac at their 
base; terminal lobe oblong, with a rounded emarginate apex, the edges deflexed; 
disk with two very prominent crenate lamelle and with a shorter interposed one, all 
three abruptly terminating within the margin of the apical lobe. Column short, its 
foot very slightly produced. Anther emarginate at the apex; pollinia 2, subglobose, 
attached to a short broad caudicle, and this to a conical gland. Hook. Ie. РІ,

Sir Joseph Hooker regards this plant as an anomalous species with the habit of an Australian 
Dipodium. The upper surface of the lip is white tinged with yellow and beautifully marked with 
reddish-purple veins.
