ORCHIDACE (A. D. Rendle) 99 
species in question, which he calls A. clavatum. Unfortunately 
the trivial is already occupied in Angraecum, so a new one must 
be found for my original plant. I have suggested multinominatum. 
Bulbophyllum Buntingii Rendle sp. nov. Planta pseudo- 
bulbis rhizomate lignoso tereti repente inter se distantibus com- 
presso-ovoideis triangulatis monophyllis; foliis oblongis super 
basin angustatis valde obtusis; scapo folia valde excedente 
pro majore parte florifero internodiis inferioribus (5) bracteis 
scariosis ocreiformibus vaginatis; bracteis florentibus scariosis 
ascendentibus ovato-lanceolatis acutis ovarium excedentibus ; 
floribus albis breviter pedicellatis; sepalis subaequalibus lanceo- 
latis acuminatis, lateralibus basi in mentum breve obtusum pro- 
tractis ; petalis parvulis elliptico-lanceolatis acutis ; labello parvo 
crasso elliptico, lateribus super basin latam usque ad partem 
anteriorem ovatam acuminatam reversis, disco callis geminis 
obtusis medio instructo; columna dentibus 2 erectis ipsi 
subaequalibus instructa. (Pl. 12, figs. 1-3.) 
Oban; n. 935. Liberia, Begwai; R. H. Bunting; in flower 
Oet. 25. 
Rhizome tough, 2 to nearly 8 mm. thick, bearing the pseudobulbs 
at somewhat regular intervals of about 2 cm. Pseudobulbs 1:5-2 cm. 
long, 1°5 or less in thickness. Leaves to 7 cm. long, 1:5-1:8 cm. 
broad. Scape 15-22 cm. long, sheathing bracts about 1 em. long. 
Raceme 13-20 cm. long. Flowering bracts 4&5 mm. long. Sepals 
5 mm. long. Petals 9:5 mm.; lip barely exceeding 2 mm., the 
recurved margin flattened anteriorly and folded downwards posteriorly 
to join the subquadrate base, which narrows abruptly into a short 
stalk. Column "5 mm. long. 
Near B. flavidum Lindl., but distinguished by its somewhat 
remarkable lip-structure. 
Bulbophyllum nigritianum Rendle sp. nov. Herba epiphytica 
pseudobulbis anguste-ovoideis approximatis monophyllis siccis 
flavidis ; radicibus tenuibus intertextis ; foliis linearibus apice 
obtusiusculis basi attenuatis scapum excedentibus; scapo tenui 
super basin brevem vaginatam florifero flexuoso vel arcuato; 
bracteis membranaceis siccis albidis ovato-lanceolatis subacutis 
ovario cum pedicello subaequilongis; floribus parvis siccis 
stramineis; sepalis subaequalibus triangulari-lanceolatis acumi- 
natis, lateralibus latioribus; petalis parvulis elliptico-oblongis 
obtusis ; labello parvulo recurvato oblongo obtuso, lobis lateralibus 
suberectis obtusis basi instructo ; columna breve dentibus binis 
acuminatis erectis instructa. (Pl. 12, figs. 4, 5.) 
Oban ; n. 933. 
Rhizome hidden by the crowded pseudobulbs and the mass of 
slender roots. Pseudobulbs 2-2°5 cm. long, 1 cm. or less in diameter. 
Leaves to 19:5 em. long, :5—:6 cm. broad. Scape to 10 cm. long,
