Trxchoglottis latisepala is very closely allied to T. lanceolaria Bl. It is dis- 

 tinguished from that species by its stouter stems, Larger leaves and larger flowers. 

 The lateral lepall are shaped like the win": of a bird; the lobes are rounded. 

 The anterior or lower lobe is only slightly slimier than the spur, against which 

 it is closely appressed. The posterior or upper lobe is oblong-lanceolate with 

 a prominent lib along the middle. The pubescent callus at the base of the middle 



lobe of the labellum la triangular -at the free end. 



In the Herbarium Hookerianum at Kew there is a specimen from Java, col- 

 lected by Lobfi, which resembles T. latisepala and may prove to be oonspecific 



with it. With this specimen there are sketches which show a llower very similar 

 to the flower of T. latisepala. The lateral sepals are referred to in a note as 

 being decurrent on the spur. This Javan specimen was originally identified as 

 T. lanceolaria. T. latisepala may prove to he a variety of T. lanceolaria but it 

 does not agree with /lavan material in my herbarium identified by J. J. Smith.

Several specimens collected in different parts of the Philippines appear to 

 belong here. T. retusa differs from other Philippine species in its very lleshy 

 oblong leaves which are unequally and conspicuously bilobed or refuse at the tip. 

 The ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, pubesoenl or densely papillose labellum is also 

 characteristic.
