Oeceoclades Rauhii (Sengh.) Garay & Taylor, comb. 
nov. 
Basionym: Mulophidium Rauhiu Sengh. in Die Orch- 
idee 24: 61, 1973. 
Type: Madagascar, south of Anivorano. Coll. Rauh 
& Senghas no. 22865 (HEID). 
Distribution: Madagascar. 
Closely related to O. boinensis from which it differs in having liner- 
lanceolate sepals and petals and an equally four-lobed lip. 
Oeceoclades roseovariegata (Sengh.) Garay & Tay- 
lor, comb. nov. 
Basionym: Mulophidium roseovariegatum Sengh. in 
Adansonia ser. 2, 6: 561, 1967. 
Type: Madagascar, near Diégo-Suarez, ‘‘Montagne 
des Francais’’. Coll. Rauh & Buchloch no. 
7985 (HELD). 
Distribution: Madagascar. 
As it was stated above, this species is closely allied to O. gracillima. 
As a matter of fact, the plants were already known to Schlechter 
through a collection by Perrier no. 16224! (P), and was regarded by 
him as an undescribed species. The Perrier specimen has Schlechter’s 
original drawings of the floral parts attached to the sheet. It was also 
collected on ‘‘Montagne des Francais’’. Perrier identified it as Eulo- 
phidium gracillimum var., but cited it without a varietal name in his 
Orchids of Madagascar. 
The photographs of O. roseovariegata in Die Orchidee 18: 24, 1967 
show the spur as being distinctly bilobed. This is apparently due to 
the angle in photographing, revealing the ventrally compressed and 
slightly grooved tip.
