Stems stout. Leaves coriaceous lorate. Racemes short stout. 
Flowers medium. Sepals and petals sub-similar connivent. Lip 
spurless or nearly so, 3-lobed, often pubescent. Column thick 
conic. Pollinia with a narrow caudicle and oval disc. Species

Some of the species included by authors have a distinct and rather large 
spur, and seem to me indistinguishable from Saccolabium.
