SINGAPORE; at Kranji, Ridley. . 
Rhizome as thick as a sparrow’s quill; pseudobulb 0. Leaf 14-13 in., narrowed 
into a short petiole. Scape with the spike shorter than the leaves, 2-sheathed ; bracts 
half as long as the flower ; ovary very short; flowers 2 in. long; lateral sepals finely 
acuminate, decurved ; petals half as long, obtuse; lip thin, sessile, almost as long as 
the petals, hairs long flexuous ; column with short spurs.—Near B. adenopetalum, 
differing in the petals not being spathulate or glandular within, and in the sepals not 
having long filiform apices, and in the linear 3-nerved lip.

„B. srRIATELLUM, Ridley in Ann. Bot. iv. (1890) 385 (excl. fig); very small, 
thizome filiform, pseudobulbs conic curved, leaf lanceolate acute, scape very short 
filiform 1.fd, sepals subequal oblong or oblong-lanceolate caudate, petals ovate-oblong 
obtuse, lip very short narrow recurved pubescent beneath, columnar arms obtuse. 
SINGAPORE, on trees, Char Chu Raang, Ridley. 
Pseudobulbs hardly } in. long. Leaf erect, 2 by jin. Scape hardly longer than 
t © pseudobulb, 1-2-sheathed at the base; pedicel 1 in., red; perianth closed; sepals 
in. long and petals yellow with 3 red keels; petals 1-nerved; lip yellow, tip .dotted 
with red and with 2 red dots at the base; column short.—I have seen no specimen. 
scription from Ridley, who describes the arms of the column as short and obtuse. 
»* petals he describes as being rather shorter than the body of the sepals (that is 
dg. Ut the fails). The figure which he gives (t. 22 f. 7, 8, 9) must belong to a 
different Species, for the columnar arms are represented as very slender. I do not 
now where to place this curious 1-flowered species which certainly does not naturally 
ong to the 194. section. It may be a depauperated state of a plant of either the 
Ticemose or capitate section. 
9/1. Henosts, I have erred in the description of this remarkable plant. The 
Teal Petals, which form a minute broad low wing on each side of (what is nota 
column with adnate petals but) the enormous 2-winged column, along the naked foot 
ot which they extend as a membranous boarder to the insertion of the lateral 
Sepals, they are perfectly hyaline, and were so appressed to the sides of the very base 
lo € column that (though they are indieated in a rude sketch by Lindley), I \t to 
me ed them, and I am indebted to my artist, Miss Smith, for pointing them ou na 
very b ey ure not triangular-ligulate, as described by Reichenbach, put ow ane 
Bul, road.—It may be a question whether this plant should not be res ored to 
on ophyllum, in which Reichenbach placed it; if it is to be retained it mus pe 
Account of the remarkable very large 2-winged column, like none other in the 
nto me; the long pedicels too are quite peculiar. If referred to Bulbo- 
sepa] Should be to the racemose section with pseudobulbs and glabrous eci PS 
Pals and petals, though very unlike any member of that group. It might with e 
l ` Jymnopus and 62. B. Wrayi, form a group distinguished from all others by the 
Il sepals being inserted at the apex of the naked foot of the column.
