A variable, widely distributed species, which differs from A. 

 quinquemilnerum mainly in not having the mid-lobe of the labellum 

 denticulate-margined. To the synonymy given above many addi- 

 tions, it is highly probable, may be made as our knowledge of the 

 group is increased by examination of many forms. In my her- 

 barium is a specimen of this species determined by F. Sander to be 

 A. Rohanianum, designated as a native of the Philippine Islands. 



The Concan Coast, tropical Himalaya from Nepal to Sylhet and 

 Chittagong, Tenasserim, Malay Peninsula, Java, Borneo, Cochin 

 China, and China.
