said to have been obtained from the Messrs. Lindley in 1887, 

 flowered in the collection of Sir Trevor Lawrence, and was exhibited 

 on ]March 26, 1895, at a meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society, 

 under the name of Bulbophyllum hurjordiense. It requires a hot 

 humid house for its successful cultivation. The illustration was 

 prepared from a plant which has been in the collections of the New 

 York Botanical Garden since 1911, 



The genus Bulbophyllum contains about five hundred known 

 species, distributed for the greater part in tropical Asia, Africa, 

 and Australia, with a few in New Zealand and America, although 

 the American forms by some are considered a different genus. 

 The flowers are usually small or of medium size, none of the others 

 approaching this in the magnitude of its flowers.
