This is th allied = ss caudata, ie which it differs in its longer petals, 
e form its lip, and in having two large teeth connected at their base 
in freait of Pd Nasal, which are fe te smooth. The lip is spotted wi 
a yellow d. The sepals and petals appear from the dried 
brown on 
flower to be unspotted. Regel’s specimen is much mutilated, but seems to 
belong here.
