210 The Philippine Journal of Science 1932 
In the herbarium of the senior author is a sheet of three un¬ 
named plants with a single agglutinated flower the parts of 
which show that the plants are referable to Bulbophyllum ma- 
quilingense. The leaves are apparently narrower than those 
of the type, the smallest being linear-oblong, 2.7 cm long and 
4 mm wide. The data of this collection are: Luzon, Tayabas 
Province, Mount Banahao, A. D. E. Elmer (?) 3797, May, 1906. 
“On undershrubs in the forests at 800 meters; flowers compar¬ 
atively large, pink, spotted, rare.” 
Bulbophyllum maquilingense is very similar vegetatively to 
B. fenixii Ames, but it appears to be distinct from all Philip¬ 
pine members of the genus by the strongly cucullate dorsal sepal 
and the unusual color markings of the flower.

RENANTHERA STORIEI Reichb. f. var. PHILIPPINENSIS var. nov. Plates 3, 7, and 24. 
A specie haec planta parvitate communi, labelli lobis laterali- 
bus angustioribus truncatis et lobo intermedio latiore differt. 
Stems erect, terete, dark brown, smaller than in the species, 
up to 80 cm high, 6 to 7 mm in diameter. The roots greatly 
elongated, 2 to 5 mm in diameter. Leaves distichous, much 
smaller than in the species, greenish or greenish yellow (very 
much paler than in the species, where it is dark green), coria¬ 
ceous, oblong, unequally bilobed at the rounded apex, 4.5 to 9.5 
cm long, 1.5 to 3.4 cm wide. Peduncles 14 to 15 cm long, terete; 
the bracts tubular, remote, 4 to 5 mm long. Panicles many- 
flowered (up to 45 flowers). Flowers slightly fragrant, scarlet 
red, except the bases of the lateral lobes of the labellum which 
are cream-colored and the base of the middle lobe and the 
throat of the labellum which are orange, 1.8 to 2 cm wide, 2.5 
to 3.2 cm long. Lateral sepals oblong-oblanceolate or oblanceo- 
late, somewhat unguiculate, broadly obtuse or rounded, 1.3 to 
2 cm long, 6 to 7 mm wide across the broadest portion, 3- to 
5-nerved. Dorsal sepal narrowly oblanceolate, subacute, 1.1 to 
1.4 cm long, 3 to 3.5 mm wide, 3- to 5-nerved. Petals nar¬ 
rower and shorter than the sepals, narrowly oblong-oblanceolate 
or narrowly linear-oblanceolate, broadly obtuse or rounded, 0.9 
to 1.3 cm long, 2 to 2.5 mm wide, 3- to 5-nerved. Labellum 
fleshy, 5 to 6.5 mm long, deeply saccate-spurred at the base; 
lateral lobes subquadrate, broadly truncate, 1.25 to 1.5 mm long; 
the middle lobe broadly ovate, subacute, 2.25 to 2.5 mm long, 
about 2 mm wide; the spur rounded, about 2 mm long. Column
