long with three triangular caudate lobes. Corolla tube 

 but little longer, lobes linear oblong obtuse slightly 

 pubescent and hooded at the tip. Lip deeply bifid into 

 two narrow linear blunt lobes for half its length basal 

 portion linear with a strong median keel, free from the 

 filament except near the base. Anther oblong curved, 

 with the cells slightly diverging at the tip, appendage 

 very short rounded ovate, filament below the anther for 

 some way linear flat fleshy, then winged widely with the 

 staminodes in the form of two short triangular subulate 

 processes. Style and stigma about as long as to the tip 

 of the appendage. 



Borneo, Sarawak: at Quop (Hewitt, March 1908). 

 Flowers red. 



This species differs from the preceding in its much 

 smaller size, short racemes of long pedicelled flowers, and 

 colour. The wings of the filaments, evidently the at- 

 tached staminodes do not reach as high in this species as 

 in the other, where they are adnate to the anther. The 

 lip is not split so far clown and is free for a longer dis- 

 tance.
