106 MALAXIDEZ. 
This genus is best distinguished from Bulbophyllum by the shortness of the dorsal sepal and 
the great length of the lateral sepals; also by the flowers being usually in umbels, rarely in 
racemes or heads. 
Pollinia attached to a viscus; lateral sepais quite free,

Rhizomes with fibrous sheaths and many roots; pseudo-bulbs contiguous or as 
much аз 1:3 сш. apart, ovoid, wrinkled at flowering time, 2 to 25cm. long. Leaf 
sessile, 11°5 to 15 em. long, narrowly oblong, obtuse and notched at the apex, 
narrowed at the hase, thick. Scape about twice as long as the pseudo-bulb, with a 
sheath at the base, the umbel 2-4-flowered; floral bract lanceolate, shorter than the 
stalked ovary. Flowers about 5 mm. long. Sepals and petals cream-coloured and spotted 
with red. Dorsal sepal free at its base from the lateral pair, broadly ovate, acute, sub- 
depressed; lateral sepals about twice as long as the dorsal, free, ovate-lanceolate from 
a broad base, sub-acute, faleate, their upper margins curved inwards. Petals broadly 
ovate, very obtuse. Гир oblong with a broad base, tapering to the sub-acute apex, 
green, the upper surface grooved. Column broadly winged, short; the apical teeth 
short, curved, blunt; its foot narrowed, rectangularly curved below the apex. 
Pollinia all cohering to a viscus, the outer two much the longer. Hook. f. Fl. Br.
