When compared with Weddell’s original specimen, unfortunately 
so imperfect, our plant might readily be considered to be specifically 
distinct, but if we accept his later conception of the species we must, 
in the absence. of critical field notes, consider it to be only a variety.

Micholitzia obcordata, N. £. Br—When the genus Micholitzia 
was described in the Kew Buil., 1909, p. 358, the exact locality in 
which Micholitz collected ued plant on which the genus was founded 
was unknown. According to Messrs. Sander and Sons the plant | 
was eee from Micholitz probably along with Dendrobium 
This a collection made recently in various parts of India and Indo- 
China by Mr. A. Meebold, part of which was forwarded to Kew for 
determination, the writer found a specimen of Micholitzia which 
appears to be M. obcordata. ‘The plant collected by Mr. Meebold 
re ; 
an Fe clcvation of b 200 m. where it grew perc as @ parasite 
rom the above information it seems probable that, of the two 
localities—India and Burma—suggested ‘by Messrs. Sander for 
Micholitz’s plant, the latter is the more correct.
