Lissochilus lokobensis (H. Perr.) H. Perr. in 
Humbert, Fl. Madag, Orch. 2: 22, 1941. 
Eulophidium lokobense (H. Perr.) Summerh. 
in Bull. Jard. Bot. Bruxelles 27: 8396, 1957. 
Type: Madagascar, Forét de Lokobe dans I|’Ile de 
Nossi-Bé. Coll. Perrier no. 19013! (P). 
Distribution: Comoro Islands, Madagascar. 
The actual specimen of Eulophia cordylinophylla is missing. How- 
ever, there is a sheet among Humblot’s collections from the Comoro 
Islands with an unpublished name by Reichenbach, which agrees well 
with the original description. This specimen also is identical with the 
type of FE. lokobensis from He de Nossi-Bé, near the Comoro chain. 
Perrier’s description of the column-wing as being toothed is incorrect. 
The margins of the column are ciliolate-hirsute.

in Bull. Jard. Bot. Bruxelles 27: 395, 1957. 
Type: Madagascar, without proper locality. Coll. 
Decary s.n. (P). Type is cultivated in Serres 
du Museum d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris 
(no. K 467). 
Distribution: Madagascar, Mozambique, Rhodesia, 
Kenya. 
Judging from the assortment of specimens we have examined, the 
length of the sepals varies with age. It may be separated easily from 
the related O. spathulifera by the shape of the spur. Because of the 
cylindrical spur, the illustrations published in Die Orchidee 18: 246, 
1967, as Eulophidium spatuljferum are referable here.
