2 mm. lata, uninervia. Labellum crassum, orbiculare ad apicem, 

 leviter retusum, prope basim bicallosum, minute papillosum, vel 

 scabridum. Gynostemium brevissimum, antice utroque ad api-

According to the collector's notes the flowers of this species 

 are deep wine red. From dried specimens it would seem that 

 the ground color of the sepals is yellowish with broad longitudi- 

 nal bands of deep purple. The petals have a broad median band 

 similar in color to the characteristic bands of the sepals.

The plant on which my determination is based agrees in gen- 

 eral aspect with Blume 's type at Leiden. The leaves are not so 

 large as those described by J. J. Smith in his Die Orchideen 

 von Java, nor are the sheathing bracts of the scape so long, but 

 the other details of structure are in pretty close agreement with 

 the analysis of Bulbophyllum elongatum. I have referred B. gigas 

 Ridley to the synonymy of B. elongatum on the authority of 

 J. J. Smith.
