Summerhayes considered this species to be synonymous with O. 
latifolia. As a matter of fact the shape of the lip superficially looks 
very much alike in both. Yet vegetatively the plants of these two 
species are closer to other members than to one another. The lip of 
O. ugandae is also provided with a pair of gibbosities at the junction 
of the lateral and midlobes, this character is absent in O. latifolia. 
Oeceoclades zanzibarica (Summerh.) Garay & Tay- 
lor, comb. nov. 
Basionym: Mulophidium zanzibaricum Summerh. in 
Bull. Mise. Inf. Kew 417, 1927. 
Type: Zanzibar, without precise locality. Coll. Last 
s.n.! (KX). 
Distribution: Zanzibar, Pemba. 
The lanceolate, long-attenuate leaf is rather unique in the genus. 
Florally the plants of this species are closest to those of O. alismato- 
phylla from Madagascar, but differ from one another in the shape of 
the sepals and petals and in the proportions of the lip.
