This species is most nearly allied to О, micrantha, but the lip is saccate at the ‘base, and the 
basal callus is oval and not linear; both the lip and the petals are pure white spotted with 
purple, and the side lobes of the lip are free to the base. The spike is shorter and the flowers 
are more crowded. At present this plant is known only from a single locality, in the neighbour- 
hood of Mussoorie.
