 sheaths above the leaves few. Leaves 8-10 by S-4 in., narrowed into a petiole. 

 Spike 8 in.,'eylindric, lax-fld. below ; bracts f in., lanceolate ; ovaries^ in. ; flowers 

 pale green; sepals 1-nerved, J in. long, dorsal linear-oblong, obtuse j petals with 

 fleshy tips ; lip rather oblong, lobes subequal ; spur an incurved sac ; anther orbi-
