and yellowish lateral sepals with red nerves. Reichenbach's B. muscicola (from the 

 Eastern Himalaya, alt. 9000 ft.) is, I suspect, the same; the leaf is described as 

 oblong ligulate, the lateral sepals coherent to the tip, the dorsal sepal and petals 

 ovate obtusely retuse, the lip complicate sagittate, and the column as 3-toothed. It 

 is said to be near retusiusculum. 



20. C. Anderson!, Hook. f. Ic. Plant, ined. ; lateral sepals in. 

 dimidiate-obovate from a narrow base obtuse apiculate coherent nearly 

 throughout five times longer than the orbicular dorsal, petals ovate 

 acuminate. 



SIKKIM HIMALAYA; near Darjeeliug, alt. 7000 ft., T. Anderson (To. in Herb. 

 Calcutt.}. 



Pseudobulbs 1-H in., narrow. Leaf 4-6 in., petioled, narrowly linear-oblong, 

 acute. Scape 4-5 in., slender; umbels about 6-fld. ; flowers shortly pedicelled, 

 ' in. across the coherent sepals, white sprinkled with red-purple. A beautiful plant, 

 described from a drawing in Herb. Calcutt. 



21. C. brevipes, HooJc.f. Ic. Plant, ined. ; scape very short sheathed, 

 lateral sepals 1 in. falcately lanceolate acute free, three times as long as 

 the broadly obovate obtuse dorsal, petals broadly ovate, tip rounded. 



SIKKIM HIMALAYA, between Yoksun and Jougri, alt. 8000 ft., T. Anderson. 



Rhizome long, slender, suberect, probably scandent, bearing very distant erect 

 narrow pseudobulbs 1-H in. long. Leaf 2 in., linear-oblong, apiculate. Scape 

 -2-1 in.; sheaths lanceolate; umbels 3-4-fld., flowers rose-pink. Described from a 

 drawing in Herb. Calcutt. The erect habit is singular. 



22. C. aureum, Hook. f. Ic. Plant, ined. ; small, lateral sepals f in. 

 linear-oblong acute incurved three times as long as the orbicular ovate ob- 

 tuse dorsal, petals oblong, tip rounded, column with spreading obtuse arms. 



MALABAR ; in the Wynaad, Jerdon (Ic. in Herb. . 



Pseudobulbs ovoid, distant on a slender rhizome. Leaf 1| in., linear-oblong. 

 Scape slender, shorter than the leaf; umbel 2-fld. ; flowers golden yellow ; lateral 

 sepals at first cohering. Described from Jerdon's drawing. I find nothing like this 

 beautiful little plant in any collection . 



23. C. Wig-htii, Thwaites Enum. 299 (in part} lateral sepals in. 

 linear-oblong subacute convex 5-nerved three times as long as the broadly 

 ovate obtuse 5-nerved dorsal, petals ovate acute erose 3-nerved, columnar 

 teeth short. C. Macraei, Wight Ic. t. 1652 (not ofLindl.}. Bulbophyllum 

 ElliaB, Reichb.f. in Walp. Ann. vi. 263; Tnmenin Journ. Pot. 1874, 199 in 

 part. 



CEYLON ; Newera Elia, Walker ; Central Province, alt. 4-7000 ft., Thwailes. 



Rhizome stout ; pseudobulbs ovoid. Leaf 1| 2 in., very coriaceous, elliptic or 

 linear-oblong; petiole short. Scape rather stout, shorter or longer than the leaf, 

 green speckled with red; umbels 6-8-fld.; flowers ochreous-green ; sepals with a 

 marginal line of red specks. There are (as Thwaites suggests) several species in- 

 cluded under Thwaites' numbers 632, 2740, 3160, and these numbers do not apply 

 to the same species in all herbaria, nor are they represented by sufficiently good 

 specimens in any. I therefore hesitate to quote their numbers. 



24. C. Thwaitesii, Eelchb.f. in Walp. Ann. vi. 263, and in Trimen 

 Journ. Sot. 1874, 198 (Bulbophyllum) ; lateral sepals \ in. lanceolate obtuse 

 widely spreading 5-nerved twice as long as the ovate obtuse or acute dorsal, 

 petals ovate acute, columnar teeth very short. 



CEYLON ; Newera Elia, alt. 4-7000 ft., Thwaites. 



There are two drawings of this in Herb. Peradenzia, both ticketed by Thwaites
