** Stems thread-shaped, slender. Leaves alternate on very short foot- 
stalks, elliptical, obtuse, revolute, coriaceous rather than fleshy ; ribbed 
and roughish beneath; clothed above with short, prominent downy hairs. 
Each footstalk proceeds from a little round bulb like a ring, smooth and 
shining yellowish and much wrinkled in a dry state but apparently very 
succulent when fresh." Smith l. c. 
XXXII. CIRRHOPETALUM. 
Cirrhopetalum. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 832. (Oct. 1824). Orch. scel. no. 149.—Z ygoglossum. 
Reinwardt in Bot. Zeitung 1825, vol. 2. p. 4. 
Sepala ringentia: lateralibus acuminatis, valde obliquis, basi product 
columne adnatis, supremo multo longioribus. Petala nana apiculata. 
Labellum integrum, cum basi columnz articulatum. Columna minima 
basi longé producta, apice cornubus duobus petaloideis. Anthera bilo- 
cularis. Pollinia 4, quorum 2 interiora multó minora, lamelliformia.— 
Herbe epiphytz, rhizomate repente, pseudo-bulbos monophyllos ge 
rente. Folia coriacea avenia. Flores dens? racemosi, nunc radiati, 10 
apice scapi radicalis. 
The great obliquity of the base, and elongation of the apex of the lateral 
sepals distinguish this from Bolbophyllum, with which it is connected 
through B. caudatum which has a short upper sepal.
