This species is very remarkable in the two auricles that exist between the 

 corolla lobes. The pollinia too are rattier unusual for the genus.

Luzon, Province of Bataan, Mount Mariveles (3202 Merrill) January, 1904. 

 In the mossy forest at 1,300 m., rare. 



A very distinct species with elliptical-lanceolate rather thin leaves and rather 

 large flowers. The material is rather scanty and I have seen but two flowers; 

 accordingly the inflorescence will have to he more fully described later when other 

 material shall be available.
