Cuming's no. 2109 was a mixture. The specimen in Lindley's 

 herbarium (unnumbered, however) is a Goodyera, and the type 

 of his G. rubicunda. That in the British Museum is Hetadria 

 oblongifolia, and is probably a duplicate type of Reichenbach's 

 Etairia rubicunda. It is doubtless like Lindley's Rhamphidia 

 tenuis, as it is cited by Vidal under Hetaria tenuis. Hence the 

 basis of the controversy between Lindley and Reichenbach (cf. 

 Journ. Linn. Soc. 1 : 184 and Seem. Fl. Vit. 294). 



Java, Moluccas, German New Guinea.
