Our figures show that the narrow portion of the right blade 
coalesces with the midrib of the left one and is partly over- 
shadowed by its projecting small portion (a).

Habitat Java. 
Four pseudo-dimerous flowers. The pseudo-dimery appears 
from the absence of the long-spurred lip and the coalescence 
of the lateral sepals, thus causing a two-toothed top. The flowers 
are derived from the same specimen which in 1913 furnished 
pseudo-dimerous flowers. Then the most striking feature was 
that the four abnormal and the five normal flowers occupied 
opposite side of the peduncle '). 
That also in C. veratrifolia R. Br. pseudo-dimery is of no 
rare occurrence was amply shown in 1911).

- An instance of singular cohesion of normally separate parts. 
A separate bract is not to be found. In the place of the 
unpaired sepal one finds a compound which evidently consists 
of the bract, the unpaired sepal and the lateral one on the right 
side (fig. 10a). The shape of this whole is obovate-rhomboid, 
the colour white, with longitudinal greenish middle stripe which 
broadens towards the top. Left sepal normal (c). Left petal 
normal (4). Lip (d) very much reduced, falcate, the right half is 
most probably furnished by the right petal, as there is no red 
on this side in contrast with the left. Spur short. Column on 
transverse section retangular with cavity at top. Anther O. Ovary 
thin with projecting rib (bract?).
