24. Liparis tricallosa Reichb.f. in Gard. Chron. (1879) 45 : 684. 

 Hook. f. Bot. Mag. t. 7804. I know this species only from the 

 type in the herbarium of the British Museum of Natural His- 

 tory, and from a specimen given to me by Messrs. F. Sander & Co. 

 of St. Albans, England, which Mr. Rolfe and I compared with 

 authentic material of L. tricallosa at Kew. On the type sheet in 

 the British Museum Herbarium there is a drawing of a plant in 

 flower from Buut Island, Sulu Archipelago, which in Reichen- 

 bach's handwriting bears the name Liparis tricallosa. The actual 

 type consists of two flowering racemes and one fruiting. There 

 are no leaves or roots. Under these specimens is mounted a clip- 

 ping from the Gardeners' Chronicle which bears Reichenbach's 

 original description of the specimens "introduced by Mr. Bull 

 from Borneo." The nearest ally of this species from the Philip- 

 pines that I have studied among the specimens collected for the 

 Bureau of Science or by independent collectors is Liparis Elmeri 

 Ames, which has smaller flowers, and is more conspicuously stri- 

 ated on the labellum.
