medio producto. Racemus cum pedunculo vix folium 
aequans, floribus plus minusve secundis. Pedunculus pauci- 
vaginatus. Bracteae racemi oblique infundibuliformes, acu-

tusa, leviter concava, extus glabra, intus sparse glandulosa. 
Sepalum dorsale simile. Petala valde carnosa, apice trans¬ 
verse triangular!, glandulosa. Labellum valde carnosum, 
breviter unguiculatum, triangulare, obtusum, extus minute et 
dense glandulosum, trans medium valde calloso-incrassatum,

narrowly elliptical, attenuated at both ends, passing into a 
slender elongated petiole; lamina 3-6 cm. long, 1.5-2.1 cm. 
wide; petiole about 2.5 cm. long. Inflorescence about 7 cm. 
long (in the type), sometimes 8 cm. or more long, scarcely 
equaling the apex of the leaf, partly concealed at base by an 
elongated tubular bract of the stem. Raceme itself about 4.5 
cm. long. Flowers greenish yellow, about 3.5 mm. apart, 
more or less second, shortly pedicellate, subtended by hy-

most to the middle, 3 mm. long, 3 mm. wide, broadly ovate
