small suberect auricles. In other respects it conforms to 
the characters of Spathoglottis. These differences may 
be seen by reference to S. Petri, Reichb. f. (t. 6354) ; 
S. Vieillardii, Reichb. f. (t. 7013); S. dwioides, Lindl. 
(t. 7060) ; S. gracilis, Rolfe (t. 7366) ; and S. Kimballiana,

It may be mentioned here that we forgot to state in the 
letterpress to tab. 7958 that we were indebted to Mr. | 
F. W. Moore, Keeper of the Glasnevin Botanic Garden, for 
the specimen of Bulbophyllum Weddelit there figured. 
Descr.—Very distinct from all other species in the lip 
being reduced to a long, linear body without side lobes, 
these being represented by a pair of very small auricles. 
Bulbs broadly conical-ovoid, obscurely many-angled, six to 
eight lines long, two- or three-leaved; basal, membranous | 
sheath about twice as long as the pseudobulb. Leaves 
lanceolate, acuminate, five to seven inches long, and an inch 
broad in the middle, plicate, membranous ; primary nerves 
five to seven; secondary ones numerous. Scapes basal, 
solitary or sometimes two from the same bulb, erect, nine 
to fifteen inches high, loosely pubescent, flowering part 
five to eight inches long. Flowers numerous, rose-purple 
or sometimes pale lilac, about an inch across. Pedicels, 
including the ovary, ten to fourteen lines long, slender. 
Bracts lanceolate, acuminate, three to five lines long. 
Sepals lanceolate, subacute, recurved, six to seven lines 
long. Petals linear-lanceolate, acute, recurved, six to 
seven lines long. Jip linear, subacute, four to five lines 
long, with a pair of small, rounded, suberect auricles at 
the base, and a pair of cuneate-obovate, somewhat com- 
pressed, nearly erect tubercles about the middle, these’ | 
being bright yellow, dotted with brown. Column slender, 
curved, about five lines long, narrowly winged above the 
middle.—R. A. Rolfe.
