from Borneo by Burbidge. The Javan B. ornithorhynchum, J.J.Sm. in 
Ic. Bogor., ii. p. 107, t. 12, is apparently a form of the same species. 
H. Micnotitzi, Rolfe. Bulbophyllum Micholitzii, Rolfe, in Orch. Rev., 
ix. p. 272.—A species having yellowish-green flowers, with the usual white 
blotches on the dorsal sepal. It was obtained from Messrs. Sander, and 
flowered in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, in October, 1896. 
H. FRITILLARIOIDES, Rolfe. An additional species which has just 
flowered at Kew, without any record of origin, and has been described under 
this name. It is much like H. grandiflorum in colour, with the markings 
very well developed, but the dorsal sepal more concave, and only about half 
as long. 
Several others are as yet only known from dried specimens. From New 
Guinea we have, H. elephantinum, H. fritillariflorum, and H. tricanaliferum, 
described under Bulbophyllum by J. J. Smith; H. biantennatum and ise 
singulare, under Bulbophyllum by Schlechter; and H. Klossii, under 
Bulbophyllum by Ridley. From Celebes we have H. Elbertii and H. 
Minahassz,’the former described under Bulbophyllum by J. J. Smith, and 
the latter by Schlechter. Lastly from New Ireland we find H. trachy- 
anthum, described under Bulbophyllum by Kranzlin, and from the Solomon 
Islands, H. Cominsii, described under Bulbophyllum by the present writer. 
Thus fifteen species are now known, and it is probable that others remain 
to be discovered. R. A. ROLFE.
