material it is highly probable thai this character is a peculiarity of the specie*. 



When the plants mature their fruit, the racemes enlarge in diameter and the 

 slender raceme represented in "Orchidaceae" Ease. Ill is hardly characteristic. 

 Notes made by the collectors indicate that the flowers are white. 



> According to Mr. Baton's notes, E. dauta is nearly related to /■:. putiila, from 

 which it differs in its broader petals and deeply cymbiform but not saccate 

 labellum.

Epipactis rubicunda (Bl.) A. A. Eaton in Proc. Biol, Soc. Wash. 21 

 (190S) 05. 



Of this species there are two specimens in the herbarium of the Bureau of 

 Science which A. A. Eaton identified as /•;. rubicunda. In accordance with the 

 rules of priority and in conformity with the articles of the Vienna code governing 

 nomenclature. Eaton referred to the genua Epipactis all the species formerly 

 grouped under Uoodi/cra, asserting that the name Epipactit appears to have been 

 first used by Boehmer in the third edition of Ludwig's "Defihitiones Generum 

 Plantarum." Although Boehmer published no binomial combination he gave 



several references to (he plan! designated by Linnaeus as Sa/i/rinin repent, now 



generally known as Ooodyera repent K. Br. or Per am ium repent Balisb. 



The specimen- of Epipact is rubicunda already referred to are showy plants with 

 elliptic, acuminate leaves nearly 1.5 dm long and with channeled petioles, 3 to 

 6.5 cm long, which clasp the stems. 



The inflorescence is rather densely many-flowered. 1.8 to 3 dm long. The 

 pubescent flowers are about 8 mm long, nearly exceeded by the narrowly lanceolate, 

 pubescent, acute Bora! bracts.

for a detailed account of Baton's reasons for taking up the name Epipactis for 

 the species formerly referred to Qoodyera, his paper cited above should be con- 

 sulted. The species formerly included in BpipOOiia are placed by Eaton in 

 Serapiat. 



COELOGYNE Lindl. 



Coelogyne Rochussenii De Vriese Ulustr. Orchid, hides Oriental. (1854) 

 /. :'; t. 11, /. 17. 



This species is represented in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science by a 

 single specimen. The leaf is broadly lanceolate or elliptic, acuminate, conspic- 

 uously nerved. The lamina is 2.5 dm long. 11 em wide; the slender petiole 

 exceeds 5 cm in length. The flowers are produced in elongated, flexuose racemes. 

 A scarious elliptic bract. l.S cm long, subtends each flower. The sepals and petals 

 are narrowly lanceolate, about 'J. 5 cm long. The labellum up to the base of the 

 middle lobe is provided with three denticulate carina, and beyond the base of the 

 middle lohe two additional, abbreviated carina 1 arise. The middle lobe is 

 acuminate. 



Although V. Rock utteni i is referred to the § Tomentotae in Ptit/er's mono- 

 graph of the Ooetogyninae, the material at hand is sparsely furfuraceous and, with 

 the exception of the ovaries, nearly smooth.
