ORCHIDACE^ 



falcate toward the lateral sepals, microscopically ciliate on and 

 pubescent near the upper margins, one-nerved. Lip minutely 

 clawed, in natural position strongly decurved below the middle 

 with the sides of the lower half erect and conduplicate, the an- 

 terior portion forming a narrowly elliptic epichil with strongly 

 re volute margins; the lamina when expanded about 5 mm. long, 

 2.8 mm. broad near the base. Ungulate, appearing subtrilobed, 

 obtuse, with a pair of small approximate calli at the base, three- 

 nerved, with the margins — except near the base — minutely 

 ciliate. Column minute, with a pair of short triangular arms. 

 Foot furnished midway with a small more or less tubercular 

 thickening, unciform at the apex. 



This minute species is somewhat allied to Bulbophyllum per- 



pusilhwi Ridl., but has much larger leaves, shorter scapes and 



larger flowers. From JS. absconditum J. J. Sm. and B. sarcanthi- 



forme Ridl., this plant is distinguished by its denser, apparently 



more fleshy foliage and larger flowers.
