In the generic revision of the Spiranthinae by Garay, Spi- 

 ranthes Pringlei was listed erroneously as being a synonym of 

 Beadlea saccata (Rich. & Gal.) Garay. It is S. Pringlei var. minor 

 Greenm. which is the synonym rather than the species. 



Didymoplexis pachystomoides (F. Muell.) Garay & Kittr., 

 comb. nov. 



Basionym: Pogonia pachystomoides F. Muell., Fragm. Phyt. 

 Austr. 8: 174, 1874. 



Syn.: Nervilia pachystomoides (F. Muell.) Schltr. in Engl., 

 Bot. Jahrb. 45: 404, 1911. 



Judging from the record of the type, this species, known only 

 from the type, is unquestionably referable to Didymoplexis. The 

 genus is new to Australia. 



Diplolabellum confluens (Hand.-Mazt.) Garay & Kittr., stat. 



nov. 



Basionym: Oreorchis patens var. confluens Hand.-Mazt., 

 Symb. Sinic. 7(2): 1353, 1936. 



The convergent, V-shaped callus on the lip clearly refers this 

 species to the genus Diplolabellum Maekawa. 



Epicranthes Bl. 



The unique branching habit of the rhizome which is covered 

 with silvery grayish sheaths and the very dactylate petals with 

 movable ornaments readily separates this genus from Bulbo- 

 phyllum. The following species comprise this old genus estab- 

 lished in 1825. 



Epicranthes abbrevilabia (Carr) Garay & Kittr., comb. nov. 



Basionym: Bulbophyllum abbrevilabium Carr in Gard. Bull. 

 S. S. 7: 18, 1932. 



Epicranthes adangensis (Seidenf.) Garay & Kittr., comb. nov. 



Basionym: Bulbophyllum adangense Seidenf. in Dansk Bot. 

 Ark. 33(3): 37, 1979. 



Epicranthes annamensis Guillaum. in Bull. Mus. Nat. Hist. Nat. 

 Paris, ser. 2,28:486, 1956.
