ORCHIDACEJE 



have refrained from establishing a subgenus which passes so 

 easily into § Acoridium. When Pfitzer prepared his monograph, 

 less than half a dozen species of the Acoridium section were 

 known to him. D. Foocworthyi is the twenty-fourth species to 

 be added to § Acoridium, collected for the Bureau of Science at 

 Manila, since 1905.
