NEW OE N’OTKWOirrilY ORCHIDS 
9 mm. long, 3 mm. wide, lanceolate, acute, o-nerved. Petals 
8 mm. long, 3 mm. wide, narrowly elliptical, 3-nerved, sub- 
obtuse. Labellum 6.5 mm. long, panduriform, 3-lobed, 
rather fleshy; lateral lobes much abbreviated, about 1 mm. 
long to the sinus formed with the middle lobe, obtuse; 
middle lobe 4 mm. long, 3 mm. wide below the middle, 
ovate, acute, somewhat sulcate along the middle. Disc 
tricarinate, wdth the middle carina much shorter than the 
laterals. Column 4.75 mm. long, strongly curved forward, 
dilated upward, terminating in a broad inconspicuously 
crenulate dorsal wing; stelidia terminal, one on each side 
of the column, bilobulate or obscurely bilobulate at the tip, 
when bilobulate the lower lobule is triangular and longer 
than the upper one. 
Closely allied to Dcndrochilum Clemensiae Ames, from 
which it is readily distinguished by the terminal stelidia of 
the column, by the 5-nerved sepals, obtuse lateral lobes of 
the labellum and slightly larger flowers.
