ORCHIDACE^l 



D. paludicola Schltr., a species which Kranzlin refers to D. co- 

 nostalioc, but it does not suggest any Philippine material that I 

 have studied. D. conostalix belongs to § Grastidium ; the leaves 

 are about 2 cm. long, 1 cm. apart, and at the apex deeply bifid. 

 The sheaths of the leaves are covered with dark brown hairs. 

 In Beit. z. Kenntnis der Phil. u. ihrer Veg. etc. A. Usteri reports 

 this species from Negros on the strength of an identification 

 made by Schlechter. 



23. Dendrobium crumenatum Sw. in Schrad. Journ. 2 : 237. 



This is a widely distributed species in the Philippines. 



Mindanao, Camiguin, Polillo, Leyte, Palawan, Luzon. 

 Also reported from Tenasserim, Ceylon, Andaman Islands, Malay Penin- 

 sula, southern China, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Timor, Amboina, Moluccas. 



24. Dendrobrium cultratum Schltr. in Fedde Rep. 10:71.D. 

 atropurpureum Auth. not Miq. As represented in the Philippines 

 D. cultratum Schltr. is extremely variable and may include more 

 than one species. The labellum is ligulate fleshy, somewhat di- 

 lated and rounded above the middle with a sharp triangular tooth 

 underneath near the tip, and a densely, but very shortly papillose 

 surface and margin above the middle. E. D. Merrill's 592 from 

 Culion Island is known to me through a specimen in the United 

 States National Herbarium. The plants are flowerless. In habit 

 they agree with D. cultratum. This number of Merrill's collec- 

 tion is published under £>. sinuatum Lindl. in Perkins's Frag- 

 menta, and was determined by Schlechter. Kranzlin cites this 

 same number under D. sinuatum in his monograph. 



Polillo, Mindanao, Palawan, Luzon, Sibutu, Negeos, Mindoro, 



Culion. 



Also Celebes. 



25. Dendrobium cumulatum Lindl. in Gard. Chron. (1855) p. 

 756. Kranzlin cites Loher 491 under this species in his monograph.
