Baguio, Prov. Benguet, September 15, 1904, fls. green, R. S. 

 Williams (no. 1935). — Open dry grassy slopes in pine region, 

 flowers greenish, Baguio, Prov. Benguet, Luzon, October 24, 1905, 

 E. D. Merrill (no. 4345). Mr. Merrill's specimens are identical 

 in specific value with those collected near the same locality in Jan- 

 uary and February, 1903, by D. LeRoy Topping. In a previous list 

 of Philippine orchids I determined the Topping plant as Microtis 

 wiifolia Reichb. f ., notwithstanding grave doubts as to its identity. 

 Mr. Merrill's specimens have flowers 2.5 mm. long, the lip entire, 

 bicallose at the base and somewhat thickened near the blunt apex. 

 They resemble M. unifolia too closely to be separated from it, or 

 to be identified with any other allied species.
