The discoverer of this species was Mr. Lobb, who gathered it 
in the Khasya Hills. Ihave named it from the Lindleyan her- 
barium, now belonging to the Herbarium of the British nation, 
kept at Kew. In 1864 it appeared in Consul Schiller’s collection 
at Hamburgh, flowering in May. Then I obtained it from 
Messrs. Veitch, and saw it both in the Saundersian collection, 
and in that of the Hamburgh Botanic Garden. There is a small 
starved variety in the Lindleyan collection and in the Schillerian 
collection. ‘The specimens in the three other named collections 
were much stronger. 
I must apologise for writing Bulbophyllum, not Bolbophyllum. 
The name was originally given by Aubert-Aubert Du Petit 
‘Thouars, in his time (1822) a most eminent Orchidologist. He 
wrote (see Tables 90—110) Bulbophyllum. We must adhere to it. 
It was Sprengel who wrote Bolbophyllum (Syst. i. 132), 1826.
