The flowers oiEria dagamensis resemble those of Eriapolyura 

 Lindl. In general habit it resembles most closely E. philippinen- 

 sis Ames, from which it may be distinguished by its shorter stems 

 and by the details of the labellum. In front of the claw at the 

 base of the labellum there are two minute, tubercular projections. 



The color of the flowers according to Mr. Wenzel's notes is 



variable, ranging between deep pink and white, with the labellum 



yellow or pink and yellow.
