This is the plant alluded to at folio 1942 as resembling 
Bolbophyllum barbigerum. Like that species it was im- 
ported from Sierra Leone by Messrs. Loddiges, in whose 
collection the drawing was made in December last. 
Fig. 1. is a magnified view of the whole flower; 2. the 
column and petals; 3. the base of the lip ; and 4. the pollen 
masses. 
It is worthy of remark, that in all this genus Bolbophyl- 
lum the spiral vessels are particularly tough and numerous. 
I have noticed this circumstance in the calyx of the plant 
now figured, and Mr. Griffith has observed it in the sheaths 
of the leaves of Bolbophyllum auricomum in Burma.
