AMES. 



.Mr. Lyon says that the flowers afe very persistent. According to his notes 

 the anterior surface of the column and the lip are rich-purple, otherwise the 

 perianth is tight-rosy-purple, each segment marked with seven well defined lines, 

 those on the lip continuous or uninterrupted, those on the sepals and petals 

 broken or formed by dots. The leaves are mottled gray and green ami are almost 

 identically like those of Phalatmopeia Bchilleriana in coloration. 



In addition to Mr. hyon's specimen I have studied three others from the Philip- 

 pines which 1 do not hesitate to refer to /'. Linilcnii. Two of these are in the 

 herbarium of the Bureau of Science, the third iii the herbarium of the New York 

 Botanical Garden. All of these were collected in Benguet Province, Luzon. The 

 specimen in the New York Botanical Garden collection has larger (lowers than the 

 others, these being about :i cm across, with the rotund apical lobe of the lip 

 about 1.8 cm long by 1.2 cm wide. The tip of the lip is in no way divided and 

 is not at all in agreement with the lip of /'. Veitokiana as represented in plate 215 



of the Floral Magazine. Until more material has been studied it seems best lo 

 adopt Mr. holler's name for this Phalaetiop*%8, The specimens in the herbarium 

 of the Bureau of Science have a branched inflorescence not unlike that of lonopsit 

 Vtrioularioide* Lindl. in general aspect, although much stouter. In Orchis (1: 82, 

 Ji;/. 57) this species has been very fully illustrated. The analysis of the flowers 

 is very detailed.

 In Orchidaceae 2: 249, I listed this species, basing my conclusions on a specimen 

 collected by the Rev. R. P. Black in Mindanao. This specimen was fragmentary 



and my identification was in a way provisional. Another specimen has come 

 to hand from \Y. S. Lyon which is undoubtedly .1. Lawrenceae. The (lowers are 

 large, about 2.5 cm in diameter and very ornamental. Unfortunately Mr. Lyon 

 forgot the exact locality from which he obtained his specimens which flowered 

 in his garden at Manila.

This species has been collected in Li/.al Province by IX LeHoy Topping who 

 found specimens in duly, 1908. The type was discovered by ,L B. Leiberg on 

 Mount Mariveles in 1904. One of the specimens found by Topping shows an 

 interesting variation from the type in its larger leaves which measure nearly 1 

 dm in length and 4-5 cm in width. On this luxuriant form the flowers are in a 

 dense raceme, about 20 in number.
