Eria leytensis is closely allied to E. odorifera Leavitt and E. btna- 
hayensis Ames. From the former it differs widely in the foliage and in 
having two carinate calli on the disc of the labellum. From the latter 
it differs chiefly in the foliage and is more rigid and compact. In the 
details of the flower it closely resembles E. binabayensis, both species 
having bicarinate labella. In the specimens examined only five pairs of 
leaves are present, the lower pairs having fallen away. That part of 
the plant which is still leafy rarely exceeds 1.5 dm in length, consequently 
a very characteristic aspect is presented.

t.ua Wenzehi in general aspect resembles E. fastigatifolia. In the 
characters of the inflorescence it is nearer Eria bracteolata (Kranzl.) 
(Tnchotosxa bracteolata Kranzl. in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. 44 Beibl. 101: 26). 
from which it diflfers in the structure of the labellum.
