Bandar baru at 1100 M. not common, dispersed, Lérzine 
4736 “Inflorescence pale green; flowers white”. Papane mt. Ophir, 
western declivity of Talamau 700 M., Bonnemeyer 482 “fl. white.” 
In the system of Globba as exposed by K. Scnumann (Pflanzen- 
reich, 1904, p. 143) this new species belongs to the Sectio II, 
Ceratanthera, series II Medtocalearatae. 
By its numerous, rather large, not very narrow leaves, its 
triangular entire spurs, the pubescence of the leaves, the retuse 
or truncate labellum, it finds its place in Scpumann’s Synopsis 
immediately next to G. montana Ridl. From this species how- 
ever it is very different by its very conspicnous large staminodes 
and by several other pecularities. 
_ Its most striking characteristic is found in the very large 
pyramidate inflorescences, with long rectangularly exstant side 
branches, forming long peduncled spike-resembling unilateral 
biseriate raceme’s of very numerous (10—40) short but solid 
persisting stout pedicels, the flowers of which have been cast 
successively. Evidently the dropped flowers were sterile and 
probably were polygamous, staminiferous flowers. In the same 
specimen occur young flowering pyramidate panicles where the 
buds, flowers and a few young fruits are placed in few-flowered 
fascicles at the top of thin but rigid patent peduncles. I suppose 
that such a panicle bears hermaphrodite or pistilliferous flowers. 
Compared with G. malaccensis, an other species of the same 
group, the latter is easily distinguished by its condensed in- 
florescence, petioled leaves ete. 
In the character of the panicle there is also some resemblance 
to G. pyramidaia Gagn. from the Philippines, which belongs to 
the same series, but there the panicle is much smaller and the 
number of flowers but 5—S and the labellum is “breviter part- 
Sg Still greater is the likeness to G. leucantha Mig. and 
a G. albiflora Ridl. Here the number of presisting scars of cast 
ce flowers may grow to 10. But these species belong to Scavmany’s 
Series I, Basicalearatae, and I think sited are varieties of 
. os maculata Bh: a 
ere is still one species to be compared here, the nly one; 
lo set of which are related to be: eeversl, suaciaraicd
