Dwarf, epiphytic herbs with short foliaceous stems 3 cm. tall (in our speci-men). Leaves linear-lanceolate, acute, subcoriaceous, the blades 1.5-2 cm. long and 0.25-0.3 cm. wide, contracted below into a short, sheathing petiole. Inflores-cences 1-to 2-flowered scapes up to about 6 cm. long, produced from the sub-terminal leaf axils. Flowers in our specimen about 2.5 cm. in diameter, pale greenish yellow, veined brown. Sepals narrowly triangular, acuminate, apparently 3-nerved, about 1 cm. long and 0.3 cm. wide. Petals incomplete in our specimen, apparently broadly rhombic, 9-nerved, probably about 1.2 cm. long and 1.2 cm. wide. Lip similar to the petals, transversely rhombic-ovate, obtuse, minutely apiculate, about 1.5 cm. long and 1.9 cm. wide, distinctly reticulate-veined, ap-parently with 19 primary veins and many secondary transverse nervules, the disk minutely puberulent. Column densely setose, the slender rostellum prominently projecting, as in the genus.
