BULBOPHYLLUM Thouars. 
The following key represents a provisional effort to differen- 
tiate the group of the racemose Bulbophyllums which are closely 
allied to B. adenopetalum and B. dasypetalum. In order to make 
it more serviceable several other racemose species, clearly sep- 
arable from all other Philippine species of the genus, are included. 
The key is based on characters which may exhibit a wide range 
of variation when more material is available for comparison. 
Unfortunately very few duplicates of the new species described 
in this paper have been received so that it has been impossible 
to arrive at a clear conception of those characters which will, 
in a key, make positive identification possible. 
Bulbophyllum lasianthum Lindl. has been ascribed to the Phil- 
ippines from whence it was supposed to have been imported 
into England by Loddiges, but I have seen no material referable 
*Sarangani Island is known to several professional orchid collectors, 
Micholitz and others, as the home of certain species of commercial value, 
and has been visited at various times by different collectors. It is a small 
island off the south coast of Mindanao.
