Camp VI a, 3100 ft. 
This species belongs to a well-marked group, characterised by the long curved column, 
with the margins of the clinandrium and stelidia toothed, and a more or less lanceolate 
flat lip with a short but distinct claw. The group seems peculiar to New Guinea, and 
includes B. xanthoacron, B. coloratum, B. cruciatum, B. stabile, and B. callipes, all 
of J. J. Smith, and some others. The above species has larger flowers, with longer 
acuminate sepals and lip, than in any of the species mentioned.
