   −
Flowers curiously shaped, borne on pendent scapes which are mostly 2-fld. ; sepals and petals similar, spreading; mentum obsolete, labellum uppermost in the fl. They may be easily grown with lycastes, and should be planted in fibrous peat and moss. During the growing period they require a liberal supply of water.
