APOSTASIACEH OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 267 
To the description in the ‘ Flora of British India,’ I would add 
that the rhizome is rather slender, and the pseudo-bulbs, which 
are conic and about an inch long, are more than an inch apart. 
The flowers are widely open, all ochreous yellow, except that 
on the lip on each side of the groove at the base is a bar of red 
spots. The lip much resembles that of B. patens, King, in 
form. I see no “mesial ridges”; but there is a deep channel 
from the base of the lip for rather less than half its length. 
The column is greenish, rather longer than usual, and there are 
no distinct stelidia. The anther is conical and stands well 
above the clinandrium; it is green with a purple edge; the 
front margin is prolonged and emarginate.

This is a fine species, though the sepals and petals are of 
rather a dirty olive yellow. I should have taken it for B. Rein- 
wardtit, Reichb. f., if that had not been described as having the 
lip not stipitate. There is a sketch of B. galbinum among Scor- 
techini’s drawings. The anther is nearly 8-lobed, the mid-lobe 
(crest) taller than the others, which are the loculi. The
