L. trichoglottis Schltr. and of L. parviftora Lindl. 



Leyte, C. A. Wenzel 04-03, May 27, 1914. Epiphyte in forest. Altitude 

 500 meters. Sepals and petals brown, labellum brown and green. 



46. DILOCHIA Lindl 



A small genus of three or four species with one representative 

 in the Philippines. 



1. Dilochia Elmeri Ames in Elmer's Leaflets of Phil. Bot. 5 : 

 1554. 



To this species I refer two specimens collected by Wenzel in 



Leyte. These specimens are not so robust as the type. 



Leyte, Jaro, C.A. Wenzel 04-4-6, June 11, 1914. Terrestrial in forest. 

 Altitude 500 meters. Sepals and petals white. Labellum white and yellow. 

 The type was collected in Mindanao. 



47. CERATOSTYLIS Bl 



Seven species are known to be natives of the Philippines. Two 

 additional species are recorded, but insufficiently characterized. 

 Ceratostylis pendula Hook. f. (cf. Hook. Ic. PI. 2100) is very 

 similar to C. philippinensis Rolfe. Probably the Philippine speci- 

 mens which have been referred to C. pendula are conspecific with 

 C. philippinensis.
