The Queensland Naturalist 
Feb., 1942 
years of waiting, the small plant which Mr. White sent 
has this season succeeded in producing a little raceme, and 
for the first time I have been able to examine the living 
flower. The following is an amended description: — 
Sepals and petals equal in length, about 11-14 mm.; 
petals narrower and thinner in texture than sepals; spur 
obtuse, less than half as long; 1 all white. Labellum quite 
as long as the other segments, conspicuously trilobate; 
lateral lobes and lamina pale, the former erect and slightly 
incurved, striate with red splashes and lines; mid-lobe 
pale yellow, with upturned sides; a few red spots at the 
base inside. Column rather long, with fine longitudinal 
red lines from base to summit ; anther blunt ; stigma nearly 
circular. 
The drawing of the enlarged flower in the previously 
published description is at fault in the following respects: 
Segments too narrow (doubtless owing to the withered 
state of the flowers) ; spur too long, and too narrow at the 
base of the sepals ; conspicuous lateral lobes of the labellum 
hardly shown at all.
