 que ad stigma columnae connatum, deinde liberum, porrectum,

 tusus, ±4 mm. longus, 1 mm. latus prope apicem; discus inter 

 lobos laterales longitudinaliter bilamellatus, lamellis membrana- 

 ceis erectis, in appendices duas quadratas productus. Columna 

 more generis elongata, basi antice ungue labelli connata, calcar 

 gibbosum formans. Clinandrium more generis permagnum, cu- 

 cullatum, marginibus crenulatum, antherapi obtusam occludens. 

 Rostellum triangulare. Stelidia (vel appendices stigmaticae) an-

Acriopsis Jioribunda is similar to A. sumatrana Schltr. in the 

 crenulate margined clinandrium. It is at once separable from 

 A.javanica Reinw. ex Bl. by means of the much larger flowers, 

 the elongated linear-spatulate middle lobe of the labellum and 

 the callosities of the stelidia tips of the column.

Acriopsis indica JVight Icon. 5 (1852) t. 1748, f. 1. 



This species has not heretofore been reported as a native of the 



Philippines. It is readily distinguished from Acriopsis Jioribunda 



and A.javanica by the simple labellum.
