tum, acutum. Inflorescentia racemosa, pluriflora. Sep- 
alum dorsale lanceolatum, acutum, naviculare. Sepala 
lateralia lanceolato-acuminata, falcata et leviter obliqua, 
margine posteriore paulo serrulata. Petala lanceolata, 
longe acuminata. Labellum profunde trilobatum; lobi

An epiphytic herb with a rhizome. Pseudobulb in- 
conspicuous, small, probably nearly round (in the living 
state), about 1-1.5 cm. in diameter, bearing one large 
leaf from its summit. Leaves elliptic-lanceolate, acute at 
both ends; blade 15—20 em. long and 4.5—5.5 em. broad; 
petiole sulecate, 5-7 cm. long. Inflorescence racemose, 
about 15- to 20-flowered ; peduncle about as long as the 
leaves, with two or three sheathing bracts below; bracts 
lanceolate, acuminate, 6-9 mm. long. Dorsal sepal lan- 
ceolate, acute, strongly navicular, about 15 mm. long 
and 4 mm. broad. Lateral sepals lanceolate-acuminate, 
falcate and somewhat oblique, about 12-15 mm. long and 
4-5 mm. broad, minutely serrulate on the posterior mar- 
gin. Petals lanceolate, long-acuminate, about 12 mm. 
long and 2.5 mm. broad; the broad basal portion nar- 
rowly oblong, abruptly contracted into the narrow ter- 
minal part which is as long as the broad portion, serru- 
late at the constriction. Lip strongly 3-lobed; lateral 
lobes erect, round, about 2 mm. long; mid-lobe lanceo- 
late, obtuse, about 3 mm. long and 1 mm. broad; disc 
with one large bilobate central callus at the base and two 
smaller longitudinal calli near the sinuses of the lobes. 
Column about 4 mm. long, rather stout, with a linear 
tooth on either side at the apex ; column-foot prominent, 
curved, about 2.5 mm. long. 
Bulbophyllum nemorale is distinguished easily from 
all the previously described Philippine species of Bulbo- 
phyllum by the strongly 3-lobed lip. It has also the larg-
