Goody era luzonensis is related to G. reticulata Bl. and G.pusilla 



Bl., from both of which it is clearly distinct. G. amcena Schltr. 



from Celebes is a very near ally. I have only seen two specimens 



among the collections which I have examined.

 19, 1911. On prostrate log in forest, ± 6000 feet above sea level. Whole 

 plant somewhat flesh colored, very little green in some leaves. Only one 

 plant seen; F. W. Foxworthy Bur. Sci. 2J/.65, March 24, 1914. On bark of 

 trees, 1450 meters altitude.
