Camp VI «, 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 Gruinea, and 

 includes B. xanthoacron, B. colorafum, 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.
