"This rather small and not very striking species is allied to M. welwitchii as both species possess two broad lines of short hairs, one on each side of the median vein, in the lower part of the lip. From which it differs in the smaller plant, the lip longer than wide, and the column half as short." Sumemrhayes 1934
