). Florally, the most distinguishing feature of the new species is the unusual morphology of the labellum, which is slightly wider than long. The basal one-half of the labellum is fleshy, diverges from the column about 60° and has a retrose lobe on each side and a central, rounded cavity limited on each side and the apex by prominent ridges; the apical one-half of the labellum is membranaceous, deflexed ca. 90° with respect to the basal one-half, and 3-lobulate (Fig.

The apical ridge limiting the cavity is unlobed, lunate, and rounded or obtuse.
