ORCHIDACE.E 



ovate, obtuse or acute. Lip minute, with a short saccate claw, in 

 natural position strongly decurved with the lower margins erect 

 and conduplicate, when expanded about 2 mm. long, suborbic- 

 ular, obtuse, the anterior half mainly occupied by a fleshy ob- 

 long callus. Column minute, provided above with a pair of con- 

 spicuous triangular acuminate arms with somewhat irregular 

 margins and below with an arcuate foot. 



The numbered specimens collected by Clemens show some- 

 what smaller flowers ; Clemens 99, 154, and to a less extent 172 

 show immature plants with somewhat arcuate-flexuous scapes 

 and dense racemes. Clemens 99 shows a leaf 32.5 cm. long and 

 another 8 cm. broad. 



There appear to be several species somewhat similar to this 

 plant, but as especial allies may be mentioned Bulbophyllum hor- 

 tense J. J. Sm., JB. hortensoides Ames, B.jarense Ames, B.pen- 

 duliscapum J. J. Sm. and B. prianganense J. J. Sm. B. hor- 

 tense is characterized by shorter scapes, narrower more involute 

 sepals, smaller petals and less conspicuous column arms than 

 B. crassicaudatum. B. ho?iensoides has much shorter scapes, nar- 

 rower leaves and much larger lip than this species. B. jarense 

 and B. penduliscapum differ from the Kinabalu plant in having 

 elongate petals and prominent Up. B. prianganense is a much 

 smaller and more delicate plant with a shorter scape and a larger 

 lip than this species. In habit B. crassicaudatum closely resem- 

 bles B. odoratum Lindl.
