Oberonia setigera sp. nov. 
Planta parvula. Folia ensiformia vel subfalcata, obtusa vel 
acuta. Pedunculus elongatus. Bracteae setiformes. Sepala lat- 
eralia ovato-lanceolata. Sepalum superius lanceolatum, acumi- 
natum. Petala serrulata. Labellum 3-lobatum; lobi laterales 
majores valde dentati; lobus medius subquadratus, integer. 
Roots fibrous. Plants caulescent, 6 cm tall to tip of uppermost 
leaf. Leaves equitant, ensiform or somewhat falcate, obtuse or 
acute, 2 to 4.5 cm long, 5 to 7 mm wide. Peduncle 12 cm

The flowers of Oberonia setigera are similar to those of O. Griffithiana
