60. Disperis decipiens Verdc. View in CoL
Kew Bull. 30: 605 (1976). — Tanzania, Mbeya Distr., Leedal H 659/74B (holo-, K).
Plants mostly 120 mm. Leaves 2, alternate, ovate, 5-22 × 3-15 mm. Flower 1, white; median sepal 5 mm long, lateral sepals naviculate, 5-6.5 × 2-3 mm; petals lanceolate, 5-5.5 × 1-1.5 mm; lip only basally fused to gynostemium, lanceolate, 4-5.5 mm long, without appendage.
The absence of the lip appendage in this species is probably due to secondary loss.
DISTRIBUTION AND PHENOLOGY. — Rather localised in Tanzania; in forests and cypress plantations at ± 1700 m. Flowering in April and May.
