This has no very obvious affinity to = other species. Its loose leaf-sheaths 
and simple oval spike are very peculia

Three species, each of great beauty, are very nearly related. They 
all have bright scarlet or crimson flowers, a pair of tubercles at the base of 
ne pcg ates ene | aridged line running from between the tubercles to nearly 
the apex lip. They however differ thus: £. radicans has the lateral 
lobes of the la labellum rounded and toothletted only, not lacerated, and it
