acuminate erose 3-nerved, column large, arms subulate. Lindl. in Sot. 

 Reg. 1843, under t. 49; Sot. Mag. t. 6802. Bulbophyllnm picturatum, 

 Reichb.f. in Walp. Ann. vi. 262. 



TENASSERIM; at Moulmein, Parish. 



Pseudobulbs 2-7 in., ovoid, smooth, anarled. Leaf 3-5 in., linear-oblong, tip 

 rounded. Scape 5 in., slender; bracts in., slender; pedicels as long; flowers 

 purple, stained witb dark red ; lip hastate with incurved uucinate basal lobes. 



12. C. simillimum, Reichb.f. Ot. Hamburg. 49 ; lateral sepals f-1 in. 

 linear-lanceolate acuminate 5-nerved tbree times as Ion? as the ovate- 

 lanceolate acute 5-nerved dorsal, petals nearly as large as the dorsal sepal 

 ovate acute 3-nerved serrulate, lip scabrid, column unarmed. 



TENASSERIM ; at Moulmein, Parish. 



Pseudobulbs I in. Leaf 4 in., linear-oblong, obtuse. Scape slender, 4-5 in.; 

 umbels fe\v-fld. ; bracts ^ in., subulate ; flowers spotted with purple. My specimen is 

 very indifferent ; the absence of the awn on the dorsal sepal at once distinguishes 

 it from the preceding, and the 3-nerved serrulate petals from elatum. 



13. C. ceespitosum, Wall in Sot. Reg. 1838, Misc. 35; lateral 

 sepals fin. linear-lanceolate obtuse 5-nerved three times as long as the 

 cymbiform subacute 5-nerved dorsal, petals broadly ovate-oblong subacute 

 erose 3-nerved, columnar teeth minute. Lindl. in Sot. Reg. 1843, under 

 t. 49. Bulbophyllum scabratum, Reichl.f. in Walp. Ann. vi. 259. 



KHASIA HILLS, Gibson, Griffith. 



Pseudobulbs ovoid. Leaves 4-6 in., linear- or oblong-lanceolate. Scape loosely 

 sheathed ; umbel few-fld. ; flowers cellular or papillose, pale ochreous yellow, nerves 

 of sepals and petals flexuous. 



*** Dorsal sepal and petals glabrous, quite entire. 



t Lateral sepals more than \ in. long. (A very vague character ; see 

 note under generic description.) 



14. C. bootanense, Griff. Notul.iu. 297 ; Ic. PL Asiat. t.299 ; flowers 

 dorsally compressed coriaceous, lateral sepals dimidiate-oblong obtuse 

 cohering in a subpanduriform blade three times as long as the suborbicular 

 apiculate dorsal, petals oblong obtuse 3-nerved, lip shortly stipitate, 

 columnar teeth slender erect. Bulbophyllum bootanense, Par. Sf Reichb.f. 

 in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxx. 153, t. 32, f. 2. 



HIMALAYA, Griffith. TENASSERIM, Parish. 

 Pseudobulbs l|-2in., narrow. Leaf 2-3 in., linear-oblong or lanceolate, notched. 

 Scape stout, shorter than the leaves ; umbels few-fld. ; bracts large ; pedicels stout ; 

 flowers rose-red sprinkled with purple. In Griffith's drawing the flowers are 

 umbelled, in Parish's sketch there are but two flowers, their pedicels springing 

 from the base of the pseudobulb. This species resembles no other, and is closely 

 related to Bulboph. cylindraceum and repens, but its flowers are normally umbelled, 

 and the dorsal sepal is shorter. 



15 C. elatum, HooJc.f. Ic. Plant, ined. ; lateral sepals 1-1^ in. linear- 

 lanceolate subacute 5-nerved convex 3-4 times as long as the broadly ovate 

 obtuse 5-nerved dorsal, petals broadly ovate apiculate 1-nerved, lip convex, 

 columnar teeth very short.
