ORCHIDACE.E 



broad, oblong-linear, obtuse, one-nerved. Lip small, in natural 

 position decurved, the lower half membranaceous with erect con- 

 duplicate sides, the anterior half elliptic, obtuse; limb when ex- 

 tended triangular-lingulate, appearing subtrilobed, about 1.7 mm. 

 long, 1 mm. broad near the base which is bicallose, the margins 

 ciliate in the middle of each side. Column minute, provided with 

 a pair of parallel prominent triangular acuminate arms and a 

 slender foot. 



The type seems to be rather immature, but resembles a plant 

 collected by Haslam with leaves about 7 cm. long and a suberect 

 scape about 6.5 cm. long ; the flowers, while apparently identical, 

 are too imperfect for sure diagnosis. 



In floral structure, this species resembles a diminutive example 

 oi B. adenopetalum Lindl., but the foliage is much narrower.
