43. Dendrobium ^levYiWiiAmes Orchidace^e 2 :181. Aflower- 

 less and leafless specimen collected in Luzon by the Wilkes Ex- 

 pedition is in the Gray Herbarium. I refer it to this species. 



Polillo, Luzon. 



44. Dendrobium metachilinum Reichb. f in Bonpl. 3 : 222. 

 Cuming's no. 2057 is referred to this species in Vidal's Phanero- 

 gamae Cumingianse Philippinarum. Kranzlin refers this Cuming 

 number to the Malacca collections, although the note on page 88 

 of Vidal's list refers nos. 2053-2058 to the collections made at 

 Singapore. According to R. A. Rolfe (Journ. Linn. Soc. 21 : 287, 

 and Kew Bull. 1908, p. 119), Cuming's nos. 2252-2399 repre- 

 sent the plants from Malacca. Rolfe also states that nos. 1-2252 

 were collected in the Philippines. Reichenbach described his 

 species from Cuming's no. 2057, and gave the place of origin as 

 the Philippines. Hooker in the Flora of British India (5 :733) 

 cites Cuming without number and gives Malacca as a habitat. 

 Finally, Ridley, in his Materials for a Flora of the Malayan 

 Peninsula, refers the species to Malacca, and states that it is 

 endemic. I have not seen any Philippine material.

46. Dendrobium modestum Reichb.f. in Bonpl. 3 : 222. I have 

 been unable to recognize this species among the specimens I have 

 examined. Reichenbach records the type as a native of Manila 

 collected by Llanos. Kranzlin in his monograph cites a Cum-
