Schizoglossum bidens E.Mey.

Leaves verticillate or irregularly arranged, very rarely (i.e. in subsp. hirtum) opposite and decussate; lamina linear to oblong. Corolla lobes replicate. Corona ± equalling the gynostegium; lobes oblong to ovate in dorsal view, with a simple or bifid tongue-like ventral appendage which is either inflexed towards the gynostegium or reflexed at its tip. Anthers with appendages reniform, broader than long, concealed beneath the overhang of the gynostegial head; corpusculum not flanged; pollinium attachment median; pollinia sausage-shaped, slightly compressed, with germination zone occupying the apex of the pollinium; pollinium length and length:breadth ratio varying throughout the species in a taxonomically significant manner. Gynostegium conspicuously swollen above the anthers.
