Var. macrophylla, Duch. (A. ornithocephala, Hook.). Lvs. large: upper lip 5 in. long, lanceolate-acuminate, projecting from the inflated headlike tube like the long beak of a bird; lower lip on a stalk 2 in. long, then expanding into a flattened, wavy, beautifully marked limb 4 in. long and 4-6 in. across.
