Observation: The sympodial growth habit, the reticulately 

 veined leaves and bracts and the free lip are characters which are 

 not present in Vanilla. The reticulate venation of the undifferen- 

 tiated leaves and bracts are reminiscent of those found in 

 Epistephium.

Observation: The identification of the plants described by J. 

 J. Smith under this name in Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, ser 2, 9: 

 12, 1913, and illustrated in Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg ser. 3, 

 5(3): t.25, f.3, 1922, because of the floral details, especially the 

 glabrous lip, is highly questionable, so is the material reported 

 and illustrated by G. Seidenfaden from Thailand in Dansk Bot. 

 Arkiv32(2): 130, 1978.
