ORCHIDACEiE 



the type, although sho^^ing great variability in vegetative char- 

 acters. 



An imperfect dwarf plant is present with Clemens' unnum- 

 bered material. 



This species is to be classed with Kranzlin's section Longifo- 

 liae, showing close relationship with Coelogyne tumida J. J. Sm., 

 C. modest a J. J. Sm., C. carinata Rolfe, and C. longifolia (Bl.) 

 Lindl. C. tumida has longer, laxer scapes and smaller flowers. 

 C. compi'emcauUs differs from C. modesta in having a flattened 

 scape, larger flowers, and different rostellum. From C. carinata 

 Rolfe, it differs in possessing a strict scape and different side lobes 

 of the lip. C. longifolia lacks the compressed scape and promi- 

 nent side lobes of the Up, which are characteristic of C. compres- 

 sicaulis. C. Merrillii Ames, from the Philippines, has a shorter 

 scape and much smaller flowers, while C. chloroptera Reichb. f. 

 has a flower rather similar in structure to this species.
