334 G. King & R. Pantling— New Orchids from Sikkim. [No. 3, 
Sikkim : Mungpoo, at an elevation of about 3,000 feet: flowering 
in June. 
This is also closely allied to B. stenobulbon, Par. & Reiclib. fil. of 
which it lias the leaves and pseudo-bulbs, but the flowers are different. 
It is likewise allied to B. Clarkeanum. 
Bulbophyllum ebulbum, n. spec. Bdiizome T5 in. thick, smooth, 
bearing: leaves at distances of three or four inches. Bseudo-bulbs 
none. Leaves with long petioles, the blades oblong-lanceolate, tapering 
to base and apex, about 7 in. in length and 1 to 1’25 in. broad: 
petiole 1'5 to 2 in., channelled. Baceme erect, rising immediately 
in front of a leaf, many-flowered, about 3 in. long, its stalk 
about half as long, bracteate. Flowers rather distant, ’25 in. long. 
Sepals lanceolate, acuminate, (1-nerved P), the dorsal shorter. Petals 
linear-lanceolate, 1-nerved, half as long as the lateral sepals. Lip 
oblong, stipitate, deflexed from the middle, blunt, entire, longer than 
the lateral petals. Column stout, with mentum twice as long as itself 
and bearing a large swelling below the stigma. Anther thickened down 
the centre, entire. 
Sikkim : at Sivoke, elevation 1,000 feet; in flower in July. 
The nearest ally of this is undoubtedly B. apodum , Hook, fil. from 
which it is however well separated by the shape of the leaf, and the 
non-auriculate lip. 
Bulbophyllum Listeri, n. spec. Pseudo-bulbs oblong-ovate, com¬ 
pressed, ’35 in. long, arranged alternately and close together on a 
thread-like rhizome. Leaf fleshy, linear-oblong; sub-acute, sessile, 
1 to P5 in. long. Flowers T25 in. long, solitary from the bases of both 
old and new pseudo-bulbs, and much shorter than the latter, the 
shortly-stalked ovary enveloped by several shrivelled bracts. Dorsal 
sepal ovate-lanceolate, blunt; the laterals a little longer, cohering 
by their lower margins nearly to the tips and forming a kind of trough 
in which the lip lies, their margins ciliolate. Petals fleshy, ovate, erose 
at the apex, minutely ciliolate in the middle. Lip lanceolate almost 
flat, the apex alone slightly decurved, the base constricted into a short 
claw, the upper surface with a thickened yellow mesial line. Column 
very short, its spurs long, slender, up-curved. The galeate anther 
with a filiform attachment to the column. 
British Bhotan: at the Rumpti Lake, elevation 1,000 feet: flower¬ 
ing in March. 
This remarkable species was discovered by Mr. J. L. Lister, of the 
Bhotan Cinchona Association, who gave it to Mr. Pantling. It is one 
of the most curious in the whole genus. The flowers are of a dull 
lake.
