Lateral sepals divergent, obliquely ovate, very shortly acuminate, acute, 0.7 by 0.45 cm; upper margin rounded and at the base extended in a small, rounded auricle; inside especially near the top and along the lower margin papillose; above the base 7-nerved.

Lip mobile, wavy, in outline linear-oblong, 0.45 by 0.14 cm; lower part thick fleshy, 0.2 cm long; upper side with a small longitudinal channel delimited at the back by 2 strongly raised, rounded keels; underneath with 2 thick, contiguous cushions separated by a deep depression and in front extended in longitudinal, convex ribs; base on either side papillose; front part dorsally compressed, oblong, obtuse, pointed; margins on either side convex-thickened and median band above convex underneath somewhat concave. Column 0.15 cm long, with a transverse thickening below the stigma, the apex obtuse; stelidia somewhat longer than the anther, almost straight, subulate; stigma small, semiorbicular; column-foot making an obtuse angle with the ovary, in the basal part straight, broad, apex free, incurved, concave, on either side in a strongly dilated, triangular, obtuse, lobule, 0.15 cm long.
