Species 1, Malaecc et Archipelagi Malayaniineole. Specimina enim Parishiana e M. d ot 
Motleyana e Borneo nobis conspecifica videntur, et vix variant nisi labelli loborum latitudine. 
Pollinarii stipites filiformes, in ieone Parishiana tenuissimi, in Trans. Linn. Soc. Lc. nimis incrassati, 
non veri stipites sunt, sed visci fila elastiee extensivo ; in flore a nobis examinato pollinia in rostello 
omnino sessilia erant, glandula: nondum soluta. Generis affinitas eum Stanhopieis Americanis, a 
Reiehenbaehio indieata, nobis effugit.
