" In vegetative features it seems similar to A firthii but the inflorescence are much shorter than the leaves and the labellum is said to be ovate and subacute which is quite different from that in A.firthii and A. claessesenii. Schlechter states that though there are 2 separate stipitethere ois only a single obovate viscidium. It is however, possible that there were really 2 viscidia which adhered closely as in A firthii and other Angraecum species. It is said by Schlechter to be allied with A multinominatum."
