PHILIPPINE (MICHIDS. 1^1 
Folm lineari-oblonga, obtusa, coriacea, in petalos graciles con- 
tracta. Scapus flexuosus, folio longitudine fere aequalis, vel 
brevior, bracteis 2, laxe vaginantibus, acutis. Racemus laxi- 
florus, pauciflorus (flores ± 3). Bracteae lanceolatae. Sepala 
ktteralia triangulari-lanceolata, acuta. Sepalum superius ob- 
longi-lanceolatum, acutum, concavum. Petala spathulata, 1-ner- 
via, margine papillose vel cellulari-ciliato. Labellum lingulatum, 
ad basim bituberculatum, 3-nerviuin, margine ciliato. Columna 
bifurcata. 
Rhizome slender, elongated, creeping, copiously rooted. Pseud- 
obulbs 0. Leaves coriaceous, linear-oblong, 3.5 to 5 cm long, 
5 to 8 mm wide, contracted into slender petioles. Scape very 
slender, sheathed at the base by several, tubular, acute bracts. 
Raceme loose, few-flowered, flowers 5 to 10 mm apart. Bracts 
about 2 mm long, lanceolate, acute, exceeding the ovaries. From 
dried specimens the flowers appear to have been yellowish or 
whitish when fresh. Lateral sepals triangular or triangular- 
lanceolate, acute, hardly caudate-tipped, 5 mm long, about 2.5 
mm wide. Upper sepal oblong-lanceolate, acute, about 4.5 mm 
long, concave. Petals spathulate, 3 mm long, ciliolate on the 
margin, 1-nerved. Labellum 3.5 mm long. Ungulate, obtuse, 
margin ciliate, base bituberculate. Column minute.

B. gimagaanense differs from B. adenopetalum Lindl. and B. Ramosii 
Ames in the form of the lateral sepals. In habit it resembles B. Ramosii 
rather closely but is readily distinguishable from that species by means 
of its elongated rhizome and widely separated leaves. It is also similar 
to B. vermiculare Hook. f. but in the details of the flowers is quite 
distinct. 
Bulbophyllum lepantense sp. nov. 
Pseudobulbi minuti, caespitosi, globosi, rugosi, 3.5 mm alti. 
Folia crassa, in sicco rugosa, oblongi-elliptica, subacuta, breviter 
petiolata. Scapus foliis longior, bracteis carinatis tubularibus 
infra medium. Racemus sublaxiflorus. Bracteae ovato-lanceo- 
latae, acutae. Sepala Meralia triangulari-lanceolata, 3-nervia, 
acuta. Sepalum superius ligulatum, acutum, concavum, 3-ner- 
vium. Petala rhombica vel rhombico-spathulata, obtusa, 1-ner- 
via. Labellum lingulatum, obtusum, ad basim bituberculatum. 
Pseudobulbs minute, approximate, rugose, globose, about 3.5 
mm in diameter. Leaves fleshy, 3.5 to 5.5 cm long, 1 to 1.6 
cm wide, deeply wrinkled in the dried state. Petals compara- 
tively short, stout, 3.5 mm long. Scape at least twice longer 
than the leaves, ±10 cm tall, sheathed below the raceme with
