rietal concept ‘‘differs radically from the species in its 
small stature, small leaves and flowers, and the narrower 
broadly truncated lateral lobes of the labellum.’” In ad- 
dition to the differences emphasized by Ames and Quis- 
umbing there is another difference found in the attach- 
ment and in the form of the mid-lobe of the lip. Also 
the two primary calli on the lip are slightly different from 
what obtains in R. Storiei. 
Ames and Quisumbing gave as a reason for assigning 
this material to varietal rank their belief that a specimen 
in Herb. Ames ( Loher 6000) constituted an intergrading 
form ‘‘clearly referable to var. philippinensis.’’ There are 
in Herb. Ames two sheets of this Loher collection. One 
sheet bears the terminal portion of the stem accompanied 
by leaves and an immature inflorescence ; the other sheet 
bears an inflorescence with the flowers fully developed 
and in size equal to the flowers of R. Storie. Dissections 
from both sheets reveal the floral structure of R. Storie 
and differ markedly from PR. philippinensis.

Conformity to the accepted rules of nomenclature 
necessitate a new name for this rather common Philip- 
pine species. It is renamed in honor of Mr. F. Tracy 
Hubbard who assisted in the bibliographical research un- 
dertaken in the preparation of the treatment of the A- 
postasiaceae and Orchidaceae in Merrill’s ‘‘An Enumer- 
ation of the Philippine flowering Plants. ”’
