Tainia ovalifolia (Ames & Schwenf.) Garay & Kittr., comb. nov. 

 Basionym: Eulophia ovalifolia Ames & Schweinf. in Ames, 

 Orchid. 6: 208, 1920. 



It is difficult to understand why this plant has been referred to 

 the genus Eulophia. In floral details it approaches T. hastata 

 (Lindl.) Hook. f. from India which, however, is proportionately 

 a much larger plant. 



Zeuxine ovata (Gaud.) Garay & Kittr., comb. nov. 



Basionym: Nervilia ovata Gaud, in Voy. Aut. Monde, Bot. 



422, 1829. 



An examination of the type kept in Paris and a photographic 

 record of it confirms Schlecter's contention that this plant is a 

 member of the Physurinae-complex.
