9. Phalasnopsis Micholitzii Rolfe in Gard. Chron. (1890) 2 : 

 197. See also Orch. Rev. 13 : 229. I have specimens of the origi- 

 nal flowers collected by Micholitz which have been compared 

 with the type and verified by Mr. Rolfe. This species is closely re- 

 lated to Phalcenopsis Lueddemanniana Reichb. f. The labellum 

 in its form and calli is very much like the labellum of P. Lued- 

 demanniana, and differs chiefly from it in the hairs on the disc 

 being scattered and not gathered into a tuft. But even this dis- 

 tinction only holds in special cases. From C. A. Wenzel (054 

 Leyte) I have specimens which are very similar to P. Micholitzii, 

 although they match flowers of P. Lueddemanniana equally 

 well. Mr. Wenzel describes the flowers as odorless, green, brown, 

 white, yellow, and purple. Mr. Rolfe in the Orchid Review 

 (/. c.) compares P. Micholitzii to P. tetraspis Reichb. f., which 

 has white flowers. Unfortunately no technical description of 

 Mr. Rolfe's species is known to me. The name occurs in Gar- 

 den Journals with brief characterizations. In the Orchid Review
