NOTES ON PHILIPPINE ORCHIDS, II. 6(55 



Mindanao. Lake Lanao, Camp Keithley, Mary Strong Clemens s. n., September, 

 1907. Flowers yellowish, hillside forests. This species has not hitherto been 

 reported from the Philippines. 



Coelogyne integerrima sp. nov. 



AfT. G. dnnamomeae. Pscudobulbi plus minus 6 cm longi, ovoidei, 

 diphylli. Folia lanceolata, acuminata, valde 3- ad 5-nervia, plus minus 

 2 dm longa, circa 3.5 cm lata. PeduncvJus erectus plus minus 30 cm 

 longus. Racemvs laxus, bracteia jam dejectis. Sepakt lateralta carinata, 

 lanceolata, acuta. 2.5 cm longa, 9 mm lata. Sepalum dormle simile. 

 Petala linearia, acuta, 3-ncrvia, 2.5 cm longa, 5 mm lata. Labellum 

 integerrimum, oblanceolatum, acuminatum, 3.4 cm longum, 1 cm latum, 

 prope apicem in disco carinae 3. 



Coelogyne integerrima belongs to the § Carinatae and -appears to be closely 

 allied to C. cinnamomca, from which it differs in its larger flowers and entire 

 labellum. The leaves are much broader in relation to their length than those of 

 C. cinnamomca. The labellum is entire, without lobes. The keels on the disc 

 are smooth and extend from the base to the tip, the lateral ones being more 

 prominent near the middle. 



Luzon, Province of Benguet, Mount Pulog, Merrill 6350, May, 1909, in the 

 lower mossy forest, altitude about 2,200 m. Flowers greenish-yellow. 



PHOLIDOTA Lindl. 



Pholidota ventricosa (Bl.) Reiehh. f. in Bonplandia 5 (1857) 4:!. 



Dr. Kriinzlin has described Pholidota sesquitorta. a species which is very close 

 to P. ventricosa. J. J. Smith considers them conspecific. In the key to the 

 species of Eupholidota in Engler's "Pflanzenreich," P. ventricom is distinguished 

 from P. sesquitorta by means of the floral bracts, which exceed the flowers in the 

 former, and in the latter are usually shorter than the flowers. The material which 

 1 refer to P. ventricosa. including the specimen cited in "Orchidaceae" Fasc. II, 

 has floral bracts which are about equal to the flowers. The key in "Das Pflanzen- 

 reich" distinguishes the bracts of /'. ventricosa by their tips; these being obtuse. 

 In my material the bracts are acute. The description of P. ventricosa, in "Das 

 Pflanzenreich" however, says "aeutae." The type of Pholidota ventricosa in the 

 Leiden Herbarium lacks flowers, so that it is quite difficult to tell much about 

 it except for the analysis published by Blume in his "Tabellen." On the type 

 only the leaves and a naked peduncle remain. On the same sheet with the type 

 a good specimen is mounted which J. J. Smith has identified as P. ventricosa. 

 The material 1 have studied agrees very well with this specimen. 



Until the status of P. sesquitorta is finally established. 1 am of the opinion 

 that the Philippine material should be referred to P. ventricosa.

DENDROCHILUM Blume. 



Dendrochilum anfractoides Ames Orchidaceae 3 (1908) 13, pi. 28. 



Another specimen of this rare species has come to hand which exhibits all the 

 characters that were referred to in the original description as of value in 

 separating it from Dendrochilum anfractum. The middle lobe of the labellum 

 is conspicuously tridentate, the lateral teeth being fleshy and almost like marginal
