C. longipes and C. vestita are closely related species, and so 

 similar in general aspect that the one might readily be mistaken 

 for the other. C. vestita has a distinctly bilobed or deeply emar- 

 ginate lip which distinguishes it clearly from C. longipes which 

 has a lanceolate undivided lip. 



Fls. white, epiphyte, Sax River, Prov. Zamboanga, Mindanao, 

 February 8, 1905, R. S. Williams (no. 2176). 



Formosa, China, Samoa, Fiji, Java, Ceylon, India. J. J. Smith

 perhaps this species.

 Lamao River, alt. 3000 ft. on rock, January 3, 1904, R. S. Wil- 

 liams (no. 430). — Mt. Malindang, alt. 9200 ft., Prov. Misamis, 

 Mindanao, May, 1906, Mearns & Hutchinson (no. 4594). 



Here probably belongs Cuming's Philippine plant numbered 

 2099 in the British Museum, which is certainly not C. disticha 

 (Thouars) Pfitzer.
