Pogonia nervilia Blume is commonly referred to this species as a 

 synonym, but J. J. Smith [in Nova Guinea 8 (1809) 10] treats it as a 

 valid species. Further study is needed to determine its status. 



Pogonia gracilis Blume is treated by J. J. Smith [Fl. Buitenz. 6 (Orch. 

 Jav.) (1905) 58] as a distinct species, but in his notes Smith states that 

 he regards it as a weak form of Pogonia flabelliformis Lindl. which is 

 conspecific with Nervilia aragoana Gaudich.

 Palawan, Merrill 9288. Taytay, in forests on dry slopes. In Java and 

 German New Guinea. 



Pogonia prainiana King & Pantl. has been referred to this species, 

 which would extend the range to India, if this reduction is correct. 



NERVILIA DILATATA (Blume) Schltr. in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. 45 (1911) 

 402; Ames Orch. 5 (1915) 23, in Merr. in Journ. Roy. Asiat. Soc.

Although the determination has been carefully made, there is room for 

 uncertainty as to the identity of the Philippine material with the Bornean 

 species. In twenty years but three incomplete specimens have been 

 obtained.
