 parentage, named "The Pearl"; its flowers were white, with 

 purple lines at the base of the lip. It has some resemblance to 

 D. euosmum leucopterum. From the Burford Lodge collection 

 also came the extraordinary Bulbophyllum mandibulare, a large- 

 flowered Bornean species, with reddish brown sepals and petals, 

 longitudinally striped with purple. The lip is pale yellow, 

 covered with deep purple asperities on the upper surface.
