16. BulbophyllumCheiri LindLin Bot. Reg. (1844) Misc. p. 44. 

 Lindley's specimen from the Philippines surely approaches B. 

 Blumei. The very characteristic labellum of B. Blumei is dupli- 

 cated in B. Cheiri, and the general aspect of the solitary flower 

 is similar in both species. 



17. Bulbophyllum (\Umbellata) chrysendetum sp.nov. Rhizoma 

 longe repens. Pseudobulbi oblique ascendentes, pyriformes, in 

 sicco rugosi, superne fastigati, 8-9 mm. longi, circiter 5 mm. in 

 crassitudine, monophylli, 2 cm. distantes inter se. Folium cori- 

 aceum, late oblongum, vel oblongi-ellipticum, ad apicem bilo- 

 batum, ad basim rotundatum, in petiolum brevem contractum, 

 circiter 3 cm. longum, 1.3 cm. latum, vix fastigatum. Petiolus 

 2 mm. longum. Scapi foliis breviores, a basi pseudobulbi vel a rhi- 

 zomate in medio inter pseudobulbos orti, usque ad 2.1 cm. longi, 

 bracteatus, bracteis vaginantibus, ± 3 mm. longus. Bractese inflo- 

 rescentias, lanceolatae, circiter 3 mm. longse. Pedicellus cum ova- 

 rio quam bracteae inflorescentiaa brevior. Sepala lateralia circiter 

 6 mm. longa, elongato-triangula, superne incrassata, subcaudata, 

 acuta, sepalo dorsali multo longiora. Sepalum dorsale lanceola- 

 tum, prope apicem incrassatum, concavum, circiter 4 mm. longum. 

 Petala quam sepala multo breviora, pellucida in sicco, oblongi- 

 elliptica, obtusa, 2 mm. longa, vix 1 mm. lata, gynostemium exce- 

 dentia. Labellum crassum, linguiforme, circiter 1.5 mm. longum,

Nearly related to Bulbophyllum multifiorum Kranzl., but with 

 very much smaller and differently formed pseudobulbs.
