SINGAPORE ; at Kranji, Ridley. 



Rhizome as thick as a sparrow's quill ; pseudobulb 0. Leaf 1^-1| in., narrowed 

 into a short petiole. Scape with the spike shorter than the leaves, 2-sheathed ; bracts 

 half as long as the flower; ovary very short ; flowers ^ in. long; lateral sepals finely 

 acuminate, decurved ; petals half as long, obtuse ; lip thin, sessile, almost as long as 

 the petals, hairs long flexuous ; column with short spurs. Near B. adenopetalum, 

 differing in the petals not being spathulate or glandular within, and in the sepals not 

 having long filiform apices, and in the linear 3-nerved lip.

B. STRIATELLUM, Ridley in Ann. Sot. iv. (1890) 335 (excl. fig.) ; very small, 

 rhizome filiform, pseudobulbs conic curved, leaf lanceolate acute, scape very short 

 filiform 1-fld. sepals subequal oblong or oblong-lanceolate caudate, petals ovate-oblong 

 obtuse, lip very short narrow recurved pubescent beneath, columnar arms obtuse. 

 SINGAPORE, on trees, Char Chu Raang, Pidley. 



Pseudobulbs hardly | in. long. Leaf erect, 2 by % in. Scape hardly longer than 

 the pseudobulb, 1-2-sheathed at the base; pedicel 1 in., red; perianth closed; sepals 

 in. long and petals yellow with 3 red keels; petals 1-nerved; lip yellow, tip .dotted 

 with red and with 2 red dots at the base; column short. T have seen no specimen. 

 Description from Ridley, who describes the arms of the column as short and obtuse. 

 The petals he describes as being rather shorter than the body of the sepals (that is 

 without the tails). The figure which he gives (t. 22 f. 7, 8, 9) must belong to a 

 different species, for the columnar arms are represented as very slender. I do not 

 know where to place this curious 1-flowered species which certainly does not naturally 

 belong to the 1-fld. section. It may be a depauperated state of a plant of either the 

 racemose or capitate section. 



9/1. HENOSIS. I have erred in the description of this remarkable plant. The 

 real petals, which form a minute broad low wing on each side of (what is not a 

 column with adnate petals but) the enormous 2 -winged column, along the naked foot 

 of which they extend as a membranous boarder to the insertion of the lateral 

 sepals, they are perfectly hyaline, and were so appressed to the sides of the very base 

 of the column that (though they are indicated in a rude sketch by Liudley), I over- 

 looked them, and I am indebted to my artist, Miss Smith, for pointing them out to 

 me ; they are not triangular-ligulate, as described by Reichenbach, but low and 

 very broad. It may be a question whether this plant should not be restored to 

 BulbopJiyllum, in which Reichenbach placed it ; if it is to be retained it must be 

 on account of the remarkable very large 2-winged column, like none other in the 

 genus known to me; the long pedicels too are quite peculiar. If referred to ulbo- 

 phyllum it should be to the racemose section with pseudobulbs and glabrous eciliate 

 sepals and petals, though very unlike any member of that group. It might with 52. 

 -B. gymnopus and 62. B. Wrayi, form a group distinguished from all others by the 

 lateral sepals being inserted at the apex of the naked foot of the column.

 nate coriaceous glabrous, scapes long cylindric, flowers capitate densely crowded
