ORCHIDACE.E 



It is by no means a simple task to ascertain with surety just 

 how many species of Ccelogyne are natives of the Philippines, as 

 several have been reported from there on very unreliable data. In 

 the following list I have relied on the Bureau of Science collec- 

 tions and on information which I have every reason to believe 

 is trustworthy. Those species marked with an asterisk I have 

 studied from herbarium material of Philippine origin.
