The middle sepal (a) has coalesced with the left (4) as much 
as § from the base, the third sepal free. Of the lateral petals 
we find the right one (d) only, the left being absent; also the la- 
bellum is present although at one side only overlapping the 
gynostemium, as the left margin is bent inwards in front of 
the column. The latter itself is inclining towards the left half 
of the flower. Also the top of the column, together with the 
rostellum and the anther are slanting. The right anther-cell is 
normal, but the left cell a little bigger, bearing a petaloid 
little lobe.

At the base of two successive pseudo-bulbs there developed 
a short, few segmented lateral shoot with roots terminating in 
a small leafless pseudo-bulb. This pseudo-bulb produced at its 
top a very short inflorescence with a few flowers. The latter 
were normal. (Fig. 36).

1°. In one flower, for the rest normal, the lateral sepals have 
grown together to a concave whole under the labellum. 
9°, The labellum of the flower, for the rest normal, has the 
shape of an ordinary petal and is besides unmoveable. Compared 
with the other petals it is slightly shorter and bears on the 
upper surface an irregular longitudinal ridge corresponding on 
the opposite surface with a corkline. The gynostemium is not 
quite normal, showing the shape of a square prism instead of 
an arched upper face. Moreover there are no stigmas, the top
