Planta Lissochilo longifolio Bentbamiano longe valiclior. Folia ad 1, alta, 

 0,015 lata, plurinervia, acuminata, telae rigidae. Pedunculus in hac specie nunc 

 ramulum unum inferius praebet. Ranii venarum in labelli lobis lateralibus ramulis 

 numerosis anastomosantibus omati, qui in Lissochilo longifoho desiderantur. Labelli 

 lobus anticus integerrinius ac fabrica callorum speciem multo robustiorem facillime 

 distinguunt, quam ill. b. Lindley oculo suo aquilino statim cognovisset, nisi labor 

 ille jam statu valde aegroto confectus fuisset.
