NEW MALAYAN OECHIDS. 211 



Dendbobium supebbum Rchb. fil. This has now been found by 

 Mr. Stephens in Perak, and confirms my opinion that D. Scorteclmiii 

 Hook. fil. is identical with D. superbum, 



D. AUBEUM var. philippinensis has also been sent me by Mr. 

 Stephens from the Thaiping Hills, Perak. This well-known plant, 

 which appears to be very rare in the peninsula, might well have 

 been expected to occur, as it is found in India, Java, and the 

 Philippines.

 graciles, 7 pollices longi, i pollicis longi purpurei superne flexuosi 

 nervis conspicuis albis. Folium singulum (rarius 2) subterminale 

 lanceolato-lineare pollice longum, ^ pollicis latum petiolatum. 

 Flores bini pedunculo brevissimo, pedicellis i pollicis longis.

 licis longa subobtusa rosea, mento sepali sequali acuminato acuto. 

 Petala linearia oblonga breviora alba. Labellum ovatum acumi-

 Columna breviuscula, anthera oblonga elevata alba, punctis duobus 

 violaceis. Stigma oblongo-scutiforme, violaceo-marginatum. 



Penang Hill ; March, 1896. 



This elegant little plant I found growing on a bank among 

 grass on the top of Penang Hill, a most unusual habitat for a 

 Dendrohiiim. It is a slender-stemmed plant with but one or two 

 narrow leaves on the top of the stem. The sepals are white, tinted 

 with rose. The lip entire, ovate, the sides elevated and ornamented 

 inside with violet stripes. The affinity of this plant is with D. herco- 

 glossiim Rchb. fil. 



Bulbophyllum flammuliferum, sp. n. Rhizoma crassum

 tenuibus ventricosis viridibus tecto. Flores circiter 25, pro sectione 

 magni. Bracte^e quam pedicelli longiores, }( pollicis longae, lanceo- 

 latge tenues pallide virides, pedicellis tenuibus. Sepala lanceolata 

 acuminata flavescentia apicibus aurautiaco-coccinea. Petala minima 

 oblonga obtusa flavescenti albida. Labellum breve carnosum lingui- 

 forme obtusum minute pustulatum flavescens apice coccineo. 

 Columna brevis stelidiis bifidis lobo postico erecto lanceolato ; 

 antico breviore rotuudato obtuso, per columnaB producta. 



Selangor, in rupibus cacuminis Gua Batu, 1897 ; fl. Dec. & Jan. 



This little plant is allied to B. apodum Hook, fil., but has much 

 larger pseudo-bulbs and flowers than those of any of that section. 

 In form and colouring the flowers resemble those of B. capitatum 

 Lindl. and B. coiicinnum Hook. fil. in form and colour, but are very 

 much larger. It grows on the limestone rocks at Gua Batu, near 

 Kwala Lumpur, at an altitude of about 1000 ft. 



B. MACBANTHUM Liudl. I found this on trees on the Mandau 

 River, Siak, Sumatra.
