across, roots copious and dense. Leaf lanceolate thinly 
coriaceous subacute base cuneate narrowed to the petiole 
6 inches long, f- inch wide, petiole 3 inches long. 
Raceme 6 inches long erect slender. Flowers numer¬ 
ous distant. Bracts lanceolate acuminate caudate, j inch 
long as long as the ovary. Sepals lanceolate acuminate, 
the lateral ones gibbous saccate at the base J inch long. 
Petals lanceolate caudate minutely pustular half as long 
as the sepals. Lip shorter than sepals, lateral lobes 
semi-elliptic thin large, mid-lobe long linear fleshy 
pustular narrow. Column very small with a long foot ; 
stelidia rather long acuminate subulate. 
Borneo, Mt. Penrissen 3400 feet (Moulton). 
This belongs to the affinity of B. leptoscpalum, Lindl., 
and B. montigenum, Ridl., but differs chiefly in its curious 
lip with the long narrow midlobe. 
Eria (Eriura) melaleuca, n. sp. 
Stem a foot tall terete leafy. Leaves linear acu¬ 
minate coriaceous 7 to 10 inches long J inch wide 
sheaths ij inch long. Racemes 2 terminal 4 inches 
long densely floriferous to the base. Bracts inch 
long ovate acute persistent glabrous. Rachis woolly. 
Flower yellow 1- inch across, ovary and pedicel F inch 
long white woolly. Sepals lanceolate obtuse pubescent, 
mentum slightly gibbous very inconspicuous in flower. 
Petals much thinner lanceolate nearly as long narrow. 
Lip with a very short narrow claw, limb broad nearly 
orbicular in outline, three lobed, side lobes large elliptic 
obtuse, mid-lobe transversely oblong disc of lip fleshy 
elevated with two thickened nerves, broad and ending in a 
rounded point on the apex of the limb. Column short, 
foot long, anther large hemispheric. 
Borneo, Sarawak, Maropok Mt. Lawas (J. C. Moul¬ 
ton, September, igog). 
Nearest to E. major, Ridl., but the lip is much shorter 
and broader, the terminal lobe specially wide and not 
clawed. When dried the blackened perianth contrasts 
strangely with the white woolly ovary giving the whole 
raceme an odd appearance. 
Eria Moultonii, n. sp. 
Stems tufted, pseudobulbs sub-cylindric ij inch long 
covered with broad sheaths lanceolate acuminate papery, 
J to nearly ij inch long. Leaves narrowly lanceolate
