Nota. Nescio, an species in Gard. Chron. 1902 I. 90 in fig. 30 delineata re vera sit D. 

 stratiotes Reichb. f. Descriptio nimium brevis tacet de forma peculiari labelli et icon formam 

 praebet labelli, quam non vidimus in specie genuina. Si planta^in »Lindenia« depicta D. stra~ 

 tiotes est, haec certe est di versa.
