Leafs in. diam., abruptly acuminate, green, margin subundulate; petiole 12 in., 

 very stout._ Flowering stem dark brown, with raceme 18 in. ; bracts J in., reflexed; 

 flowers horizontal, almost geniculate with the decurved ovary ; sepals and petals ^ in.' 

 connivent, dull green with red nerves ; lip as long, yellow-white with purple nerves- 

 top of column hairy on the back.— Lindley refers Griffith's plant to P. carinata, but 

 the saccate base of the lip, and flowers set on at an angle with the ovary, 

 rather indicate P. Scottii. These characters are not, however, shown in Griffith's 

 drawing.
