This species is very distinct in the upper part of the column 
from T’. oicophylax, Rehb. f. It has whitish green sepals and 
tepals and many orange-coloured streaks on the disc of the lip, 
which is whitish. I have known it since 1866, when Mr. Low 
brought very satisfactory and well-developed specimens, stating 
that it was imported from New Grenada. I obtained lately a 
plant from Director Linden, which I saw growing at Brussels. 
It came also from New Grenada, and is most probably the same 
species. It was, however, very small, and had all the defects 
which the first flowers of recently-introduced plants bear, alas! 
so often. 
Pseudobulb linear-ligulate, ancipitous. Basilar sheaths trian- 
gular, scariose, brownish, with many small black-brownish dots. 
Leaf cuneate, oblong-ligulate, acute, single on the pseudobulb. 
Flower-stalk two-flowered. Bracts oblong-ligulate, blunt, with 
small brownish dots, much shorter than the pedicelled ovary. 
Sepals and tepals linear-acute, commonly twice-twisted, the lateral 
ones somewhat connate at the base and very often at an angle with 
the ovary. Lip flabellate, trifid towards the apex; lateral lacinie 
obtuse-angled; middle lacinia rhomboid, obtuse-angled, one
