Bulbophyllum Vanoverherghii belongs to a small group of Philippine 
species of which B. dasypetalum Rolfe and B, adenopetalum Lindley are 
representatives. It appears to be closely allied to B. braccatum Reichb. f. 
a species which is known to me only through the brief and incomplete 
description published by Reichenbaeh f.* Up to the present time I have 
been unable to assign with certainty any Philippine specimens to B. 
braccatum, B, Vanoverherghii is distinguishable from B, dasypetalum 
Rolfe chiefly by the very dissimilar foliage. The flowers of these species 
are very similar in detail.
