This species appears to be related to both T'aentophyl- 
lum inconspicuum Schltr. and 7. capillare J.J.Smith from 
Celebes but differs from both in the ovate, rotund petals. 
T\. inconspicuum has a longer spur while 7°. capillare is a 
larger plant bearing bigger flowers than this species. It 
differs from 7. A/wisti Lind. in the larger size of the 
plant with longer and broader roots, larger flowers with 
1-veined sepals and petals and smaller fruits. 
Cryton: Ratnapura District, Gilimale, in tropical wet evergreen 
forests at 175 meters altitude, July 6, 1960, Jayaweera 2182 (Tyrer). 
It flowers in July.
