 Luzon (Apayao, Rizal, Tayabas, Sorsogon), Polillo, Mindoro, Biliran, 

 Leyte, Negros (Occidental Negros), Mindanao (Camiguin Island, Davao). 

 A common, variable, and widely distributed species in the Philippines. 

 Terrestrial, in forest at 30 to 1,000 m altitude. In India, Ceylon, Malay 

 Peninsula, Java, and Borneo (Sarawak). 



J. J. Smith, in Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenz. Ill 3 (1921) 239, expresses 

 doubt as to B. S. 20A62 being referable to Cryptostylis arachnites. A re- 

 examination of all available specimens from the Philippines indicates that 

 there is only one species present. I cannot separate this from C. arach- 

 nites. It is probable that Smith in studies of living material has been 

 able to detect differences among the species of Cryptostylis allied tvith 

 C. arachnites which are evanescent in herbarium specimens. Cryptostylis 

 arachnites is a very variable species, flowers on the same raceme exhib- 

 iting a wide range of variation in the labellum.
