The flowers of Agrostophyllum Meamsii, especially the constricted 
labellum, recall those of A, javanicum Bl., but the foliage is quite distinct- 
ive. I have seen material from Sumatra {Schlechter 15967) named A 
javanicum Bl. by Dr. R. Schlechter which resembles A. Meamsii, but 
which has longer, narrower leaves.

Agrostophyllum pelorioides is easily distinguishable from all other Phil- 
ippine species, of which we have any record, by the labellum and broad pe- 
tals. The labellum is similar to the petals in form and size and is scarcely 
saccate.
