Fl. Ind. Bat. p. 625.— Crepidium flavescens, Blume, Bijdr. p. 388. 
Labellum integerrimum; folia subradicalia ovato-lanceolata 
nervosa membranacea, radix fibrosa; flores spicati flavescentes. 
Java. 
This description is obviously too incomplete to distinguish the 
species. However, I have not yet seen any plant from Java with 
yellow flowers and an entire lip. Some plants labelled M. fla- 
vescens var. purpurea by Dr. Reichenbach in herb. Kew I cannot 
distinguish from M. congesta var. fusca. I do not think Blume 
can have intended M. congesta by his Crepidium flavescens, as the 
lip of the former is certainly not “integerrimum.” Lindley says, 
“An eadem ac Microst. discolor?”
