late, about 3 mm long. Perianth about 5 mm long, the divisions 
scarcely spreading, yellowish-white. Lateral sepals triangular- 
lanceolate, acute, not caudate-tipped, 3-nerved, about 5 mm long. 
Upper sepal 5 mm long, ligulate, acute, 3-nerved, concave. Pet- 
als rhombic or rhombic-spathulate, obtuse, 1-nerved, about 3 
mm long, the margin minutely cellular-ciliate. Labellum Un-

flavidi. Sepala lateralia triangulari-lanceolata, 3-nervia, acuta. 
Sepalum superius oblongum, acutum. Petala spathulata, 1-ner- 
via. Labellum lingulatum, ad basim bicarinatum, Columna 
breviter bicuspidata. 
Rhizome creeping, 2 mm thick. Pseudobulbs wanting. Leaves 
1 cm apart, petiolate, coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, lam- 
ina 10 to 12 cm long, 12 to 13 mm wide, in general outline 
similar to that of B, adenopetalum. Petioles 3 to 4 cm long, 
slender, shorter in relation to the length of the lamina than 
those of B. dasypetalum to which species this one bears a close 
resemblance in the details of the flowers. Scape erect, bracteate, 
shorter than the leaves, 8.5 to 10 cm tall. Bracts subtending 
the flowers ovate-lanceolate, acute, about 1 mm long, equaling 
the ovaries, hyaline in dried specimens. Raceme loosely flow-
