Order ORCHIDEZ. 
BULBOPHYLLUM, Thon. 
B. radicans, Bail. (n.sp.). Stems elongated, sometimes to the length of | 
several inches, clothed with scarious, striate, torn sheathing scales, and long 
wiry roots. Pseudobulbs narrow-cuneate, mostly hidden by the stem-seales. - 
Leaves linear 13 to 23 in. long, 2 to 2% lines broad, tapering at the base, 
the apex with a minute recurved point, texture thin, veins obscure. Peduncles 
3 or 4 lines long, filiform, bearing 2 or more loose, scarious, somewhat obtuse 
sheathing bracts. I lowers yellow, calyx-tube slender, 14 lines long. Sepals broad- 
lanceolate, the points acute, 14 lines long, longitudinal veins 3 to 5. Petals 
narrow-lanccolate with only a central vein, hyaline and scarcely half as long as 
the sepals. Labellum thick, nearly as long as the sepals, expanding into side- 
lobes in the lower half, attached by a short claw to the basal projection of the 
column, disk-plates 2. Column-wings ending in rather long incurved threads. 
Pollen-masses ovai, golden-yellow. This species is nearly allied to B. 
nematopodum, ¥.v. M., and it is probable that the specimens mentioned’ in my 
report of the Bellenden-Ker Expedition in 1889 as B. nematopodum, which were 
not bearing flowers at the time, belonged to this new species.
