The genus Glomera has no other representative in the Philippines of 
which we have any knowledge. From Agrostophyllurrif a genus with 
which Glomera might readily be confounded, it is separable by the number 
of pollen masses, Agrostophylum having 8 pollinia. 
AGROSTOPHYLLUM Blume 
1. AGROSTOPHYLLUM LONGIVAGINATUM sp. nov. 
Aff. A. longifolio sed in habitu satis dissimilis. Planta ±4.5 
dm alta, gracilis, foliosa, subflexuosa. Caules complanati vaginis 
foliorum tecti. Folia disticha, lineari-lanceolata, lamina 9-12 
cm longa, circiter 9 mm lata, subcoriacea, acuta, vaginae foliorum 
imbricatae persistentes, flavidae, longivaginatae, circiter 6 cm 
longae. Flores albidi in capitulo terminali numerosi, bracteis im- 
bricatis subtendentes. Sepala lateralia valde carinata, elliptico- 
lanceolata, acuta, 1-nervia, 4 mm longa, 2 mm lata, concaviuscula. 
Sepalum dorsale simile. Petala lineari-lanceolata, 1-nervia, 4 mm 
longa, prope basim 1 mm lata. Labellum saccatum, 3-lobatum ; 
lobus terminalis subcordatus 2 mm longus, 2.5 mm latus, latior 
Quam longior; lobi laterales minuti, erecti, obtusi. Columna 
exalata, crassa. 
MiNDORO, Merrill 5656, The specimens described flowered in Manila, 
October 4, 1911, 
In one flower examined the lateral lobes were connected by a trans- 
versely situated membrane. In two other flowers this membrane was not 
present. That it may have been lost through injury is probable although 
the likelihood of such a membrane being evanescent should be taken under 
consideration.
