ner in texture, the racemes more numerous and the apical cal- 

 lus somewhat different. In some states, E. obUtteratu Reichb. f. 

 somewhat resembles this plant vegetatively, but the lips are very 

 unlike. E. lobata Reichb. f. also has a very different lip from 

 E. magnicallosa. The lip of this species recalls that of E. major 

 Ridl., but that of E. magnicallosa has much broader lateral 

 lobes, narrow sinuses and different apical callus. (Plate 92.)

Rolfe sub E. villosissima (Journ. Linn. Soc. 42 (1914) 150) 

 says of the Bornean plant : " The Malay Peninsula Eria major 

 Ridl. is very different from the original Bornean plant in the 

 much shorter leaves, fewer scapes, which are white-pubescent, 

 as well as the pedicels and the smaller flowers, and in its quite 

 distinct lip. It may be called E. Ridleyi Rolfe." 



The Clemens specimen has short leaves and few scapes, like 



the Perak plant, and thus the proposed separation is rendered 



questionable in part.
