BULBOPHYLLUM. 83 
bract lanceolate, sub-acute, half as long as the stalked ovary, Sepals sub-equal, 
spreading, lanceolate, with broad bases and caudate-acuminate fleshy tips. Petals broadly 
ovate, acute, 3-nerved, Lip ovate-oblong, decurved from the thickened grooved basal 
portion, the anterior portion narrowed, thin and slightly erose at the sides, the apex 
sub-acute and recurved. Column with rather long straight subulate spurs, its foot short 
and much curved. Anther with a small quadrate lip; outer pollinia broad, e 
the inner two minute. 
Western Dooar of Bhutan ; ; in the Kumai forest near the Jallacca HANS elevation 
about 1,500 feet; Pantliug, No. 319; in flower in June. 
The nearest alte of this species is probably the Burmese В. stenodulbon, Par, and 
Reichb. fil., but that has different pseudo-bulbs and leaves. The sepals and petals of this 
are white pee with orange-red at the tips; the lip and column are yellow or 
yellowish-white. It is also allied to В. Gamblei and to B. leptanthum.

pt. 2, 334, 
Rhizome “15 in. thick, naked except at the growing point; pseudo-bulbs none. 
Leaves solitary, rising 2 inches apart, rather thin, oblong-lanceolate, acute, tapering 
slightly at the base to the long channelled petiole; length 6 or 7 in., breadth 
about 1:2 in.; petiole 15 to 1°75 in. Scape rising immediately in front of a leaf, 
erect, shorter than the leaf; the peduncle sheathed at the base, less than half as 
long as the many-flowered raceme. Flowers °З in. long, not crowded, vale green; 
floral bract, large, lanceolate, as long as the curved stalked ovary. Sepals lanceolate, 
acuminate, the dorsal somewhat shorter than the lateral. Petals half as long as the 
lateral sepals, linear-lanceolate, l-nerved. Zip longer than the petals, oblong, stipitate, 
deflexed from the middle, the basal portion grooved, the anterior flat, the edges 
entire and the apex sub-obtuse. Column stout with small quadrate wings surmounted 
by minute teeth, tumid below the stigma; the foot long. Anther thickened vertically 
in the middle; pollinia elliptic. 
Sikkim; at Sivoke, elevation about 1,500 feet; Pantling, No. 323; in flower їп: 
June; only once gathered. 
A species near the Burmese species B. apodum, Hook. fil, from which, however, 
it is distinguished by the shape and thinner texture of its leaves, by the more slender 
inflorescence and larger flowers. B. apodum, Hook, fil., has moreover rudimentary 
pseudo-bulbs, while this species has no trace of such.
