ORCHIDACEiE 



20. LEPIDOGYNE Bl. 



Probably not more than three species have been recognized. Of 



these only one is a native of the Philippines. 



1. Lepidogyne longifolia Bl. Fl. Jav. Orch. 94, t. 25. Neottia 



longifolia Bl. Bijdr. 406. L. sceptrum Schltr. and L. minor Schltr. 



are natives of New Guinea. 



Leyte, Negros. 

 Also from Java. 



21. DICEROSTYLIS Bl. 



If Dr. R. Schlechter's views are adopted, the species which I 

 have referred to Hylophila Lindl. should be placed in Dicero- 

 stylis. Dicerostylis and Hylophila have been differently treated 

 by different authors. 



1. Dicerostylis rubra Schltr. in Engler's Bot. Jahrb. 45 : 392. 

 Hylophila rubra Ames Orchidace^e 2 : 65. 



MlNDORO, SlDUYAN. 



2. Dicerostylis lanceolata Bl. Fl. Jav. Orch. 98, t. 38. A single 

 specimen deposited in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science at 

 Manila is the only material from the Philippines which I have seen 

 that is referable to D. lanceolata. This is a more robust species 

 than D. rubra, with a spicate raceme 13 cm. long; flowers whitish. 



Batanes Islands, Santo Domingo de Basco, Eugenio Fenix Bur. Set. 

 3781, June 8, 1907. In mossy forest near Mount Traya. Flowers white and 

 yellow. 



22. ERYTHRODES Bl. 1 



Erythrodes until recently has been included in Physurus L. C. 



1 The following changes in the nomenclature of several American species becomes necessary: 

 1. Physurus polygonatus Ames Orch. 2: 259 = Erythrodes poly gonata comb, nov. 2. Physu- 

 rus purpureus Ames Orch. 2:259 = Erythrodes purpurea comb. nov. 3. Physurus secundus 

 Ames Orch. 2: 260 = Erythrodes secunda comb. nov. 4. Physurus venustulus Ames Orch. 

 2 : 260 = Erythrodes venustula comb. nov. The following according to specimens in my her- 

 barium should be referred to Erythrodes : 5. Physurus longicornu Cogn. Bull. Soc. Roy. Belg. 

 43:298 = Erythrodes longicornu comb. nov. 6. Physurus pictus Lindl. Gen. & Sp. Orch.
