lanceolate acuminate bases broad rounded, blade eight inches 
long, by 24 across, glabrous, petiole rather slender two inches 
long, sheaths about six inches. Spike central shorter than the 
upper leaves about five inches long. Bracts lanceolate acute 
closely appressed. Calyx spathaceous + inch long truncate. 
Corolla tube one inch long, hardly longer than the bracts, lobes 
linear incurved white. Staminodes porrect, and curved up over- 
lying the upper edges of the lip, oblong obtuse, white with a 
pink tinge. Lip saccate white with an everted red margin about

Perak, on Maxwell’s Hill, collected by Mr. F. A. Wooldridge 
and flowered in the Botanic Gardens, Penang, September 1894. 
This pretty plant is distinguished by the lip being narrowed 
at the base with the sides turned up and the edges turned out

exceedingly similar if not identical plant occurs also in Lankawi 
(Curtis 2677).
