3mm. broad. Lip 8-lobed, abruptly conic-saccate toward 
the apex, about 9 mm. long and 4.5 mm. deep through 
the sac; lateral lobes of the lip erect, extending from the 
base nearly to the apex of the lip, carinate; terminal lobe 
small, erect, triangular, about 1.5 mm. long; lower inner 
surface of the claw of the lip callose-thickened from the 
base up to the posterior wall of the sac; anterior wall of 
the sac with a retrorse, bifurcate, ligulate callus extend- 
ing over the opening and nearly closing it; in the base of 
the sac is a longitudinal partition, extending about half 
way up, which divides the base of the sac into two parts. 
Column about 2 min. long; the rostellum very much 
elongated and strongly sigmoid, about 8 mm. long. 
Luzon: Prov. Rizal, Sept. 1909, Loher s.n. (Tyee in Herb. Ames 
No. 44387). 
Camarotis Loheri is most closely allied to C. philippi- 
nensis Lindl., from which species it may be distinguished 
by the long hgulate, bifurcate callus on the anterior wall 
of the sac, by the less prominent lateral lobes of the lip, 
by the shape of the lip and the differently shaped conic 
sac, by the more prominent rostellum, by the partition 
in the sac and by the smaller size of the flowers as well 
as by the smaller leaves. 
This species is the second Camarotis to be found in 
the Philippines,—Camarotis utriculosa being a species 
of Sarcanthus. 
Camarotis Loheri is named in honor of Mr. August 
Loher, many years a resident of Manila, to whom we 
are indebted for many critical specimens of Philippine 
orchids collected in out-of-the-way places.
