GEODORUM Jackson. 
Geodorum nutans (Pres!) Ames Orchidaceae 2 (1908) 164. 
Native names for this species are Camaog, Lubi lubi and Cola 
from the Spanish cola meaning glue. This plant is used for its 
adhesive properties. The rhizomes are split and the pulp rubbed 
on surfaces that are to be fastened together. It serves in the 
Philippines as a glue in the manufacture of musical instruments. 
The economic importance of the plant is indicated in Blanco’s 
name, Arethusa glutinosa. The rhizomes contain about fourteen 
per cent of a water-soluble adhesive. Cf. Wells in Phil. Journ.
