Nota. Reichenbach 1. supra c. in »observatione« dicit: >De vero D. moniliformi Sw. ! 

 alio loco«. Frustra libros et libellos Reichenbachii posteriores perscrutavi de hac specie, nil 

 reperi. Cum etiam D. japonieum Lindl. de quo re vera »alio loco* agendum erit, a D. monili- 

 formi Sw. satis sit diversum, hoc nomen Swartzianum semper in Synonyma abjiciendum erit.
