Bulbophyllum. 



pseudo-bulbs are clustered, about tin. in diameter, and bear a 

 solitary, oval leaf, 4in. to 6in. long. The prevailing colour of the 

 flower is a tawny yellow, with dark reticulating veins, and spotted 

 with purple. The triangular lip is jointed and flexible, and is 

 rendered conspicuous by a horseshoe-shaped crest. Borneo and 

 Philippines, 1883. Syn. Sari<>/^(>Ji:nn Dearei. 



B. grandiflorum {Bliimc). — Mowers sohtary, large, densely- 

 reticulated with brown on a pale ground ; sepals lanceolate, attenuate, 

 4in. to 5in. long, free, the upper one twice as broad as the later^il 

 ones, strongly arching over at the base, and hanging down in front ; 

 leaves solitary, elliptic, 2Jiin. to 3in. long. Pseudo-bulbs about tin. 

 long, distinct, four-angled. Rhizome creeping. New Guinea, 1S87. 

 (Lindenia, iii., t. 108.) 



B. lemniscatum {Parish). — One of the most singularly beautiful 

 of small-flowered Orchids. It has small, warty pseudo-bulbs, and 

 erect, slender scapes, bearing at the apex a recurved spike of purple 

 flowers of very curious structure Each of the sepals bears a 

 relatively long, club-shaped appendage, attached by a hair-like 

 point, so that it moves very easily. Under a magnifying lens these 

 flowers are exceedingly interesting. Moulmein, 1870. (B. M., 

 t. 5961.) 



B. Lobbii {Lindl'.). — A desirable species, somewhat resembling 

 B. Dearei. It has flowers 3in. to 4in. in diameter, produced singly, 

 on slender stalks, 4in. long, from the base of the one-leaved pseudo- 

 bulbs. The leaf is oblong, and about 6in. in length. The spreading 

 sepals and petals are of a deep, tawny yellow, the upper sepal being 

 spotted at the back with purple ; the lip is reflexed, and, like the 

 broad, short column, is yellow, spotted with purple. It flowers in 

 June. A native of Java, Moulmein, &:c. ; introduced in 1846. Syns. 

 Sarcopodiiim Henshalli, S. Lolibii. (B. M., t. 4532.) 



Van siameiise has leaves longer and more leathery than the type, 

 and its lemon-coloured flowers are marked with veins and spots of 

 reddish-crimson. 



BURLINQTONIA. 



According to Bentham and Hooker this is now relegated to 

 Rodriguezia,
