Hab. Kedah: Kedah Peak, alt. 4,000 feet. v.v. 
I found this singular orchid growing in a dense dark wood of 
low trees on the summit of Kedah Peak, scrambling along the 
branches. The flowers form so compact a raceme that they 
look as if they were capitate. They are of a very deep red 
with long hairs on the edges of the sepals and petals, and are 
polished on the inner face. They exhale a strong odour of 
carrion. The lateral sepals are connate at the base and beyond 
the column foot. The species is most nearly allied to B. Daya- 
num, Reichb. f., differing in the long rhizome and distant 
pseudo-bulbs, the more numerous differently-coloured flowers, 
the connate sepals, &c. Except in size of flower neither this 
nor B. Dayanum, Reichb. f., has any clear relationship with the 
true Sestochili, but it is difficult to see where else to class them.

There are a number of one-flowered Bulbophylla, of very 
small size which differ so much from typical Sestochili that one 
cau hardly class them in that group. They include :—
