 subcoriaceum, pallide viride (in sicca), carinatum, ad basin angustatum, 145 cm. 

 longum, 3 cm. latum. Flos solitarius in pedicello 1 cm. longo. Sepalum posticum 

 lanceolatum, acutum, 1 cm. longum, 2 mm. latuui, latevalia lanceolata, acuta, 

 falcatula, subsirailia, paullo latiora, sicca pluricostata. Petala 4 mm. longa, late

 Camp VI a, 3100 ft. 



A.llied to B. patens, King, but with a very different column and a curved lip. The 

 flowers, which seem to have been of a stiff texture, have dried dark brown, and show 

 rather strong ribs or elevated nerves. The stelidia are remarkably long for this section. 



B ULBOPHYLLUM (§ Grandiflora) Klossii, Ridl., sp. nov. 



Fseudobulbi conici, 1"5 era. longi. Folium ellipticura, versus basin acuminatum, apice 

 rotundatura, obtusum, coriaceum, 5 era. longum, 2 cm. latum, petiolo canaliculate 

 1 cm. longo. Fedunculus 6 cm. longus, vaginis acuminatis 3, maxima 1 cm. longa. 

 Bractea lariceolata, acuminata, 15 cm. longa. Ocarinm 2 mm. longum. Sepalum 

 posticum basi lanceolatum, elongatum, lineare, obtusum, 4 cm. longum, ad basin 

 5 mm. latum, lateralia 55 cm. longa, linearia, torta, ad basin 3 mm. lata. Felala 

 e basi ovata triangularia, 4 mm. longa, subabrupte caudata, caudis teretibus antenni- 

 formibus 9 mm. longis. Labellum minimum, carnosum, curvum, fere curvatum, 

 apice acuto, 2 mm. latum. Columna brevis, crassus, pede bis longiore, stelidiis 

 minimis lanceolatis linearibus acutis. 

 Camps IX to XI, 5500 to 8300 ft. 



Allied to B. longisepala, Eolfe, but much smaller, with very much the same form, 

 and apparently the same brown tessellate colouring, but the petals are curiously 

 prolonged into conspicuous antenna-like processes. Very close to, if not identical with 

 this, is the plant figured by J. J. Smith under the name of 5.? trachyanthum, Kranzl. 

 Nov. Guinea, xii. t. 22 ; but this species is not papillose, as is figured. 



BuLBopHYLLTJM (§ Monantha-parva) Culex, Bidl., sp. nov. 



Bhizoma longe repens, gracile, pseudobulbis 3-4 cm. dissitis erectis conicis 2 mm.
