Bulbopliyllum.'] CXLVIII. ORCIIIDE^. (J. D. Hooker.) 763 



sepals membranous, nerves 1-3 very slender. A very remarkable species, resembling 

 no other, but allied to hirtum and auricomum. 



45. B. Xiindleyanum, G-riff. Notul. iii. 287 ; scape tall, raceme many- 

 fld. drooping and pedicelled flowers tomeutose, sepals subequal ovate 

 acuminate 5-nerved, lateral with an outer basal angle, petals small oblong 

 crinite, lip shortly stipitate lanceolate villous, columnar arms slender. 



TENASSERIM ; shores of Mergui, Griffith, Parish. 



Pseudobulbs 1 in. diam., depressed ovoid. LeafS-Q in., oblong-lanceolate, acute. 

 Scape 4-8 in. ; bracts ovate, aristately acuminate, longer than the pedicel and ovary ; 

 flowers J in. diam., when closed as if spurred by the mentum ; pedicels ^ in. ; sepals 

 greenish with purple stripes and margins. 



46. B. parviflorum, Par. $ Reiclib.f. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxx.152; 

 scape slender, raceme elongate, bracts minute, flowers small very shortly 

 pedicelled, sepals subequal ciliate, dorsal lanceolate 1-nerved narrower 

 than the ovate acute sub-3-nerved lateral, petals half as long oblong 

 obtuse ciliate, lip shortly stipitate oblong obtuse laxly hairy, columnar 

 spurs short. 



TENASSEEIM ; on trees in the mountains, Parish. 



Pseudobulbs depressed globose ; rhizome stout. Leaf 4-5 in., petioled, liguLite, 

 obliquely 2-fid. Scape longer, with the raceme 6 in.; flowers -^ in. diata., yellow ? ; 

 mentum rounded. Reichenbach describes the dorsal spur of the column as plumose. 

 I do not find it so. 



47. B. lasianthum, Lindl. in Gard. Chron. 1855, 53 ; scape stout 

 many-sheathed, raceme drooping, flowers large, sepals hispid, dorsal shortest 

 linear-oblong, lateral with an ovate concave base, petals one-third 

 shorter lanceolate acuminate glabrous, lip broadly stipitate glabrous.

PER AX (Scortechini). PENANG (Zc. in Herb. Kern). DISTBTB. Sumatra. 



Pootstock very stout ; pseudobulbs 2-3 in. Leaf large, 5-7 by 2-3 in., elliptic or 

 linear-oblong, acute, many-nerved. Scape 6-10 in. ; bracts ^ in., ovate-lanceolate ; 

 flowers dark purple; sepals 1 in. Ion?, tips slender, nerves 5 strong. Perhaps the 

 largest species of the genus. The flowers are described as fleshy and copiously 

 covered with fleshy hair-pointed bristles. Lindley's Manilla habitat is probably 

 an error. 



48. B. limbatum, Lindl. in Sot. Reg. 1840, Misc. 74 ; rhizome very 

 stout, pseudobulb depressed subglobose, scape stout many-fld., flowers 

 small, sepals subequal ovate obtuse, sides strongly ciliate, petals spathulate 

 villous, lip as long as the sepals sessile ovate obtuse concave, disk smooth, 

 margins scabrid. 



SINGAPORE (Hort. Loddiges). 



Rhizome thicker than a duck's quill. Leaf not seen. Scape with spike 4 in. ; 

 bracts minute; flowers dingy purple ; sepals in. long; lip dull-green purple at the 

 base. I have seen only a very poor specimen in Herb. Lindl. 



49. B. tremulum, Wig Jit Ic. t. 1749; leaf ovate-lanceolate acute, 

 scape slender erect lax-fld., flowers large, sepals subequal linear-lanceolate, 

 sides villously ciliate 3-nerved, petals very small fringed, lip linear-oblong 

 straight fringed with long hairs, columnar teeth short.
