The collector described the flowers in his field notes as purple, yellow, 
and green, with a pronounced raspberry odor. In the above description the 
colors are given as seen in a dried flower which appeared to have lost very 
little of its coloring. 
9. BULBOPHYLLUM ZAMBALENSE Ames in Philip. Journ. Sci. 7 (1912) 
Bot. 134. 
The original description of this species was taken from a single specimen 
with very narrow leaves. Additional material from Bontoc Subprovince, 
unquestionably referable to B. zambalense, has leaves 8 cm long and 9 
mm wide. The large, imbricating, scarious, sheath-like bracts at the base 
of the scape are quite characteristic, in some examples partially concealing 
the lowermost flower of the raceme. In fresh specimens the leaves must 
be very fleshy and rigid.
