ORCHIDACE.E 



a pair of small ovate-oblong glands free-stalked for a distance 

 of about 1 mm., the stalks running up toward the column. Col- 

 umn short, thick, about 2.2 mm. tall, 1.85 mm. broad, slightly 

 dilated above and raised into a rostellar thickening at each 

 corner. 



Clemens 355 shows a portion of an even larger plant than the 

 type with the stem (broken off) 28 cm. long. In this specimen the 

 leaves average 11.1 cm. long, and the spike about 4 cm. long, 

 2 cm. wide, but no definite floral differences are manifest. 



The nearest ally is apparently Vrydagzynea albida BL, which 



is distinct in its uniformly narrower leaves, longer rachis of the 



inflorescence and narrower floral segments. 



KiAU, Clemens SIfi (Type), November 1915. Flower greenish; Clemens 

 356, November 1915. Flower white with green tips.

12. MISCHOBULBUM Scliltr. 



This genus, originally erected by Schlechter in Die Orchida- 

 ceen von Deutsch-Neu-Guinea, published in Fedde's Reperto- 

 rium, is represented in Borneo by a single species, which was first 

 made known through specimens imported by Messrs. Low & 

 Company of Clapton, England.
