Resembling P. grandifolius in habit: sepals and petals dull reddish brown; lip white with tinge of pink, dark purple spot beneath, with yellow on the 2-lobed spur. Malaya.—P. CMpmonmi=P.

Sepals and petals nankeen-groen, the broad frilled tip yellow at the base with purple-brown markings, the front lobe rose. J.H. III. 46:353.—P. Cailcmaii—P. simularis X P. Wallichii G.M. 50:134.—P. Cooperi, Rolfe. Sepals and petals bright red-brown in front, pale yellow behind, about 2 in. long: lip funnel-shaped, white at first, soon changing to yellow.—P.fragrans, Hort.
