NOTES ON PHILIPPINE ORCHIDS, III. 
55 
I have seen no material from the Philippines which agrees with B. anten- 
niferum and B. maxillare. In the Herbarium of the Bureau of Science there 
are two plants which approach them in aspect but which represent very different 
species. My knowledge of B. antenwiferum and B. maxtllare is based on sketches 
of the types kindly given to me by Doctor Prain. 
Luzon, Rizal Province, Bur. Sci. 3076 Maximo Ramos, flowers yellow. (Speci- 
men flowering in Manila, January 21, 1908). 
Bulbophyllum Cumingii Reiehb. f. in Walp. Ann. 6: 261. 
Girrhopetalum Cumingii Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1843 sub t. 49; Bot. Mag. t. 4996. 
This species which Lindley described from specimens collected in the Phil- 
ippines by Cuming is apparently a rarity. The tetragonal pseudobulbs, oblong, 
coriaceous leaves, elongated scape and umbel of purplish flowers are char- 
acteristic. 
Negros, Cadiz, Bur. Sci. 7334 A. Celestino, March, 1909, For. Bur. 5227 Danao 
& Aspillera, June, 1906. 
Bulbophyllum Makoyanum Reiehb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1879, 1 : 234 in note. 
Cirrhopetalum Makoyanum Reiehb. f. in Gard. Chron. 1879, 1 : 234; Bot. Mag. 
t. 7259. 
This interesting species, which differs chiefly in color and minor details from 
B. Cumingii, has been discovered in the Philippines. The umbels of yellow flowers 
spotted with purple, which, according to the collector’s notes, give the plant the 
aspect of a sun-flower, are very distinctive. The elongated, narrowly linear 
lateral sepals radiate from the center of the umbel. The petals and upper sepal 
are fringed with yellow hairs. The labellum is fleshy and smooth. 
B. fimbriatum, which is a closely allied species, has two conspicuous teeth at 
the summit of the column. 
Polillo, Bur. Sci. 10438 R. C. McGregor, September 28, 1909, flowers pale-i 
yellow speckled with burnt-carmine. Mindanao, Rev. R. F. Black s. n. 
299. DIPODIUM R. Rr. 
Dipodium paludosum Reiehb. f. Xenia 2: 15. 
There are two specimens in the Herbarium of the Bureau of Science which 
according to materials at hand appear to be referable to this species, one from 
Negros, the other from . Mindanao. The details of the labellum agree with the 
figure in the “Botanical Magazine” ( t . 7 464), although the lateral lobes or 
teeth are rather longer, measuring 4 mm in length. Unfortunately I possess no 
authentic material of T). paludosum, consequently my identification is not so 
sure as I could wish. The identity of the genus, however, is beyond' doubt and 
its addition to the Philippine flora through the specimens under consideration is 
of importance. 
Mindanao, Province of Surigao, F. B. Bolster, September, 1906. Negros, Hi-
