base into a distinct foot to which the labellum is loosely at¬ 
tached. Stelidia of the column, one on each side at the 
summit, exceeding the anther. 
The habit of Bulhophyllum marciduin suggests such 
species as B. mindorense Ames,B. pleurolhalloides Ames and 
B. exquisiium Ames. From B. pleurolhalloides it differs in 
having a glandulose labellum, obtuse petals, and in having 
the ovary far distant from the subtending bract. From B. 
mindorense it is separable in having smooth sepals that are 
not at all glandular on the margin. From B. exquisiium it is 
very distinct in the size of the flowers and in the very 
different labellum and smooth ovary. The apical portion 
or mid-lobe of the labellum is characterized by a strongly 
deflexed slightly revolute margin; seen from the side it has 
the appearance of being fleshy. The upper surface is 
strongly convex and closely studded with minute gland-like 
prismatic cells. The apex is blunt with the margin turned 
sharply downward. [Fig. 12.]
