ORCHIDACE.E 



verse reniformis, 8.5 mm. longus, emarginatus. Carinae duae. 

 Gynostemium e basi angustiore valde alato-dilatatum, conchi- 

 forme, ala apice subtrilobata, margine erosa. 



Coelogyne Ramosii is a near relative of C. sulphur ea (Bl.) 

 Reichb. f. from which it differs in the smaller side lobes of the 

 labellum and in the texture of the flowers. 



Unfortunately my materials for comparative studies have been 

 limited so that I have been unable to judge of the variation 

 which is characteristic of Coelogyne sulphurea. My studies of 

 Javan specimens distributed by J. J. Smith, and of Bornean 

 specimens, indicate that the lobes of the labellum should have 

 some weight in determinations ; furthermore the Philippine ma- 

 terial which I have proposed as a new species differs from both 

 the Javan and Bornean representatives of C. sulphurea in hav- 

 ing extremely membranous floral segments which in dried ma- 

 terial become so agglutinated that the usual methods of prepa- 

 ration make examination extremely difficult.
