REMARK
This species is so far only known from the top of Ambondrombe, it is close to Cynorkis falcata and Benthamia exilis . The flowers are yellow and the most distinctive feature is the long midlobe of the lip. Like Benthamia exilis it has no leaves when flowering. The sepals are folded back as in Cynorkis falcata . This species would probably be best placed into the genus Cynorkis .
