ORCHIDACE^E 



bicuspidatum, utraque cuspis insequaliter bilobata, lobulo ante- 

 riore elongato, subulato; lobulo posteriore dentiformi. 



Bulbophyllum baucoense is closely allied to B. trisetum Ames 



and B. Weberi Ames. 



Luzon, Bontoc Subprovince, Bauco, Father M. Vanoverbergh 2613, 

 March 9, 1913. Epiphyte, 1500 meters above sea level. Flowers yellow 

 with red spots, labellum red. 



11. Bulbophyllum Blumei J. J. Smith Orch. Jav. 459. B. cus- 

 pidilingue Reichb.f. in Walp. Ann. 6 : 264. Ephippium ciliatum 

 Blume Bijdr. 309, f. 65. Cirrhopetalum Blumei Lindl. Gen. & 

 Sp. Orch. 59. Phyllorchis Blumei O. A". Rev. Gen. PI. 2 : 676. In 

 the Philippine Journal of Science (7 : 127) I gave a list of all the 

 species of Bulbophyllum reported on reliable authority to be na- 

 tives of the Philippine Islands. In this list B. Blu??ieiwas included, 

 although no material of Philippine origin had passed through 

 my hands. Since my list was published I have examined a series 

 of specimens from Leyte which correspond, so far as the details 

 of the flower are concerned, with a specimen in the herbarium of 

 the Bureau of Science sent from Java by J. J. Smith and referred 

 by him to B. Blumei. This specimen consists of a single flower 

 and lacks both pseudobulbs and leaves. My specimens also agree 

 with the figure published by Smith in his supplementary plates 

 to Die Orchideen von Java. 



In my herbarium there is a sketch of the type of Lindley's 

 Cirrhopetalum maocillare {Bulbophyllum maxillare Reichb. f.). 

 which resembles so closely the specimens which I have referred to 

 B. Blumei that I am inclined to believe that Lindley's plant may 

 prove to be conspecific with B. Blumei. The flower of B. Cheiri 

 Lindl. resembles B. Blumei. Lindley's sketch of the labellum 

 resembles very closely the form of the labellum of B. Blumei.
