Pollinia 4 per paria connata, interior minima accumbentia. 
Ovarium non tortum. 
Capsula oblonga, angulis inconspicua. 
Hab. Common on trees about Malacca. This species seems 
to combine Bolbophyllum and Cirrhopetalum, whieh at ist 
are sub generic forms of the same genus. 
Yet though'this plant is in all respects a Bolbophyllum, or 
Cirrhopetalum, its habit is very peculiar, the Rhizomata 
rarely rooting in the usual places, viz. under the pseudo- 
bulb. In most of the flowers break out in places with no 
leaves, and it has bracteate 1-flowered pedicels. 
When flowers are developed from the same sheath as the 
bulbs, appearances are more ordinary, it must then be consi- 
dered that it produces one or two scapes, each of which is 
one flowered. Odore suberoceo, but slight. 
In the drawing the tails of the sepals аге not represented 
as sufficiently spreading. The base of the pedicels are sur- 
rounded each with smallish sub-chaffy bracts.
