Pseudobulbs 2—34} in. Leaves 4—8 in., sometimes loriform. Scape with spike 12—18 
in. ascending, with a few long appressed sheaths toward the base and scattered empty 
green. lanceolate bracts below the spike; spike 4—6 in. long, inclined; bracts + in., 
green. Sepals 1-і in. long, concave;. mentum rounded; petals about 1 as long as the 
sepals. Lip cordate at the base, strongly recurved, obtuse. 
This is perhaps the only species of Bulbophyllum that attains to 10,000 ft. elevation. The drawing 
reproduced here is from a Sikkim specimen, and is inscribed “From Tonglo, alt. 10,000 ft., Aug. 
1862. Т. Anderson. Luchman Singh delt.” Griffith’s specimens (brought by collectors in Sikkim) 
have leaves 8 by 13 in., and flowers larger than in the drawing.
