Mentum long, cylindric, straight, spur-like, as long as pedicel and ovary or little longer, 1.5-2.5 mm in diameter. Lip broadly obovate rhombic, (2) 2.4-3.5 cm long, 1.8-3 cm wide, apex entire to indistinctly 3-lobe; median lobe irregularly dentate or fringed, sometime indistinctly emarginate; disc naked or sparsely setose along veins, with 3-7 low insignificant keels.
