The shape of the flower as given above is not quite correct, the tube is too broad, and 

 the segments not sufficiently expanded and revolute. A fine figure is given in Gardeners' 

 Chronicle, 1873, p. 1141, by G. Worthington Smith, but too large for this work. 



L. Philip-pincnse was collected by Gustave "Wallis, in the district of Benquet, in the 

 Island of Luzon, 7,000 feet above sea level, in July, 1871. It grew among the grass in 

 poor soil, partially shaded, on steep banks, the flowers are sweetly perfumed, and are said 

 to be 10 to 12 inches in length. Its chief characteristic is the long very slender foliage.
