Leaves l-lj in., obtuse or apiculate, nerves obscure, not reticulate, margins minutely 

 crenulate. Spike |-1 in., few-fld., twisted ; flowers crowded j sepals f in. long, 

 linear-oblong, obtuse, 1-nerved ; petals linear, nearly as broad as the dorsal sepal ; 

 lip nearly as long as the sepals, narrow, margins incurved, very thick ; rostellar 

 arms slender ; anther lanceolate, poUinia narrow, sessile on a long gland. — In a 

 drawing of this by Scortechini corresponding to his specimens the leaves are repre- 

 sented as more ovate, acute and strongly creuate.

Stem strict, with spike 6-10 in., subtomentosely glandular above. Leaves 

 li-2 in., rarely elliptic, acute, petiole ^ in! Spike 2-3 ia. ; flowers all secund, 

 pubescent, white; sepals l-nerved, lateral J-i in. long, ovate, acute, dorsal much

Closely allied to G. secundiflora, but three times the size, and very robust, 18 in. 

 high, including the spike, which is 7 in. long ; the leaves are 3-4 in. long, whole 

 coloured, the lateral sepals i-J in. long, and the petals are clawed, gibbously 

 spathulate and acute. — ^Named by Lindley Q. secundiflora; but I think it quite 

 different.
