about three, carinate, tubular bracts 1 to 1.5 cm long. Raceme 
loosely flowered. Bracts subtending the flowers ovate-lanceo- 
late, about 3mm long. Perianth about 5 mm long, the divisions 
scarcely spreading, yellowish-white. Lateral sepals triangular- 
lanceolate, acute, not caudate-tipped, 3-nerved, about 5 mm long. 
Upper sepal 5 mm long, ligulate, acute, 3-nerved, concave. Pet- 
als rhombic or rhombic-spathulate, obtuse, 1-nerved, about 3 
mm long, the margin minutely cellular-ciliate. Labellum lin- 
gulate, about 3 mm long, fleshy, bituberculate at the base. 
Column minute, bifurcate at the tip. 
Luzon, Lepanto Subprovince, October 29, 1905, Elmer D. Merrill 4586. 
Epiphyte in mossy forests, 2,200 m above sea-level. 
Bulbophyllum marivelense sp. nov. 
Aff. B dasypetalo, a quo tamen foliis differt. Rhizoma repens. 
Pseudobulbi nulli. Folia oblongi-lanceolata, obtusa, coriacea, 
petiolata. Scapus folio brevior, flexuosus, pauciflorus. Flores 
flavidi. Sepala lateralia triangulari-lanceolata, 3-nervia, acuta. 
Sepalum superius oblongum, acutum. Petala spathulata, 1-ner- 
via. Labellum lingulatum, ad basim bicarinatum. Columna 
breviter bicuspidata. 
Rhizome creeping, 2 mm thick. Pseudobulbs wanting. Leaves 
1 cm apart, petiolate, coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, lam- 
ina 10 to 12 cm long, 12 to 13 mm wide, in general outline 
similar to that of B. adenopetalum. Petioles 3 to 4 cm long, 
slender, shorter in relation to the length of the lamina than 
those of B. dasypetalum to which species this one bears a close 
resemblance in the details of the flowers. Scape erect, bracteate, 
shorter than the leaves, 8.5 to 10 cm tall. Bracts subtending 
the flowers ovate-lanceolate, acute, about 1 mm long, equaling 
the ovaries, hyaline in dried specimens. Raceme loosely flow- 
ered, flowers about 10, yellow. Lateral sepals triangular-lan- 
ceolate, acute, 3-nerved, 4.5 mm long. Upper sepal oblong or 
oblong-lanceolate, acute, concave, 4mm long. Petals spathulate, 
1-nerved, obtuse, 2.5 mm long. Labellum lingulate, margin 
smooth, about 2.5 mm long, bicarinate at the base. Column 
minute, bicuspidate.
