This species and the allied 4. tenuicalcar Summerh. 
and Al. amaniensis Summerh. are characterised by the 
nature of the pollinarium in which there is a single ob- 
long viscidium to which the pollinia are attached by short 
stipites which arise close to one another, are then bent 
outward rather like knees, and converge again to ap- 
proach one another at their apices where the pollinia are 
attached. So far, only 4. parviflora (Thou.) Schltr.) has 
been recorded as possessing a common viscidium to the 
two stipites, but in this species the pollinarium is other- 
wise very different. 4. parviflora, however, has the petals 
broadly triangular with the anticous margin united to the 
dorsal sepals and a trilobed lip with quite long lateral 
lobes. 
A. breviloba, although lacking some of the more char- 
acteristic Aneraecopsis characters, e.g. the petals as de- 
scribed above, seems correctly referred to the genus on 
account of the general habit and small leaves, the curious 
subspathulate-lanceolate lateral sepals held forward in a 
parallel manner on each side of the lip, the trilobed lip
