188 CXLVIII. ORCHIDE®. (J. D. Hooker) [Supplement, ĝe. 
Leaf 3-1 in., acute or obtuse, coriaceous. Scape 1-1 in., 3-5-fld., sheaths few small, 
bracts lanceolate nearly as long as the ovary or shorter, flowers orange-yellow ; 
sepals about 1 in. long, dorsal rather the shortest ; lip tongue-shaped. 
30. B. LEPTANTHUM. After Ic. Plant. insert 2039 A, and in line 4 for 3- 
nerved sepals read l-nerved petals.—Var. ? Gamblei. Aftera further comparison 
of specimens with B. leptanthum, I am convinced of the specific distinctness of this 
variety, which I have figured in the ** Icones Plantarum” as B. Gamblei t. 2039 B. 
P. 760. 3. B. Kine. After Ic. Plant. insert t. 2053 ined. 
P.761. Under 37. B. curnzvw. Dele the synon. var. stenopetala. Two very 
closely allied species are here confounded, both natives of Tenasserim ; one is the 
true cupreum var. stenopetalum, which, as Mr. Rolfe has pointed out to me is also 
that author's B. rufinum, a plant referred by me by oversight to 58. B. CONCHIFE- 
RUM (which has no pseudobulb and no auricles to the lip). The following are the 
characters of the two species :— 
37. B. cuPREUM, Lindl. l.c.; pseudobulb 1 in. subglobose, scape slender 
inclined slightly eurved, sheaths small distant, raceme 1-2 in., flowers uniformly 
coppery yellow, bracts ovate-oblong much shorter than the ovary, lateral sepals 
ovate-lanceolate acute, petals triangular-ovate acuminate, lip narrow obtuse auricles 
large, columnar spnrs short slender. "TENAssERIM, Parish.— Very like B. Carey- 
antcm, but the rhizome and scape are much more slender, the flowers fewer and les 
dense, and the petals are not aristate.  Lindley's description is wholly insufficient. 
In his specimen the petals and auricles of the lip are serrulate, in others that flowered 
at Kew they are entire. The Manilla habitat is no doubt an error. 
37/1. B. RUFINUM, Reichb. f. Xen. Orchid. iii. 45 t. 219; pseudobulb 2 in. 
oblong, scape long stout decurved, sheaths large, raceme 6-10 in. lax-fld., bracts 
lanceolate about as long as the flowers, flowers dirty-yellow with red streaks on the 
sepals, lateral sepals and small petals narrowly lanceolate acuminate, lip narrow 
obtuse, auricles small entire, columnar spurs slender. B. cupreum var. stenopetalum, 
Reichb. f. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxx. 152.—TENASSERIM, Parish.—The large pseudo- 
bulb, stout large scape, long raceme and bracts, narrow sepals, and colour of the 
flowers readily distinguish this from cuprewm and Careyanum.

61/1. B. ADENOPETALUM, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1812, Misc. 85; pseudobulbs 
obsolete, leaves petioled oblong obtuse base scarcely pseudobulbous, spike rather 
longer than the leaf many-sheathed below many-fld., sepals acuminate, petals 
spathulate acute glandular within, lip narrowly ovate obtuse ciliate base channelled. 
Walp. Ann. vi. 255. 
SINGAPORE; Hort. Loddiges. 
Flowers yellowish, slightly sweet-scented.—Described from Lindley ; there is n0 
specimen in his Herbarium, only a sketch of the flower, in which the ovate sepals 
are narrowed into long capillary points.—Two different Philippine species in er» 
Hook. and in Herb. Lindley, both labelled by that author B. adenopetalum, led me 
to suppose that the latter had been erroneously attributed to Singapore, whence my 
exclusion of it from the Flora. 
64/2. B. vERMICULARE, Hook. f. Ic. Plant. t. 2054; rhizome very slender 
tortuous, leaves small linear-oblong obtuse base narrowed, scape short slender few- 
fid., sepals 1-nerved dorsal linear, lateral ovate-lanceolate uncinately falcate, petas 
narrowly linear 1-nerved, lip linear-oblong obtuse 3-nerved hairy.
