Recently 1 have had the opportunity to examine 
authentic Chinese specimens of Stauropsis polyantha W. 
W. Smith and am unable to distinguish it from Vandop- 
sis undulata. W. W. Smith records that the flowers of 
the Chinese and Burmese plants are almost twice as large 
as those of the Indian plant. While the flowers of the 
Chinese plants, which I have seen, are slightly larger 
than those of the Indian plants the difference is not great 
and hardily of noteworthy character. 
Taeniophyllum (Subg. Geissanthera) Hosokawae 
(Fukuyama) L. O. Williams comb. nov. 
Microtatorchis Hosokawae Fukuyama in Tokyo Bo¬ 
tanical Magazine 51 (1937) 903, fig. 4-5. 
The figures of this plant given by Fukuyama leave 
little doubt that the plant belongs to the subgenus 
Geissanthera (Schltr.) L.O. Williams of the genus Taen¬ 
iophyllum. This would seem to be the fourth species 
belonging to this subgenus, the others are: Taeniophyllum 
bracteatum L.O.Williams, T.papuanum (Schltr.) L.O. 
Williams and T.tubulosum (J.J.Sm.) L.O.Williams. 
Taeniophyllum Hosokawae is of further interest in 
that it is a considerable extension of the range of the 
subgenus.
