Microsaccus Wenzelii is closely related to M. brevifolius J. J. 

 Smith, from which it differs in habit and in the form of the 

 sepals and petals. Where the column unites with the labellum 

 in front there are two thickenings on the disc at the entrance to 

 the saccate spur. Microsaccus Wenzelii is the first species of its 

 genus recorded as a native of the Philippine Islands.
