ORCHIDACEiE 



more or less retuse-apiculate ; three low simple approximate 

 fleshy keels run from the base of the lip nearly to the apex of 

 the middle lobe. Column about 1.3 cm. long, slender, straight, 

 winged throughout, with a very broadly truncate, simple ter- 

 minal wing. Anther hemispherical, papillate. 



In respect to lip structure there are apparently no near alUes 

 of this plant. 



Marei Parei Spur, Clemens 227^ November 1915. Flower white, very 

 fragrant. 



Coelogyne Clemensii var, longiscapa A. &^ S. var, nov. 

 A specie, haec planta pseudobulbis brevioribus, petiolis breviori- 

 bus, foliis in visu crassis, scapo rigido longiore, petalis angusti- 

 oribus, difFert. 



From the type, the following points of difference are notice- 

 able. Pseudobulbs up to 3 cm. long. Petiole up to 8 cm. long, but 

 generally shorter. Leaves apparently fleshy, lacking the very 

 prominent nerves of the species. Scape stout, rigid, clothed only 

 at the base with six or more tubular, imbricating sheaths. Pe- 

 duncle up to the inflorescence usually ±16 cm. long, though rarely 

 as short as 8 cm. Rachis rigidly arcuate, subtended by one or more 

 tightly convolute bracts. Petals lanceolate, about 1.6 cm. long, 

 4.5 mm. broad. Lip apparently less reflexed in the middle, the 

 middle lobe obtusely narrowed. 



This plant is so close to the species in general floral character, 

 and the vegetative differences appear so inconstant and easily 

 attributable to variations in environment, that varietal rank is 

 deemed sufficient.
