forms closely with the characters of Eria moluccana Schltr. & 

 J. J. Sm., the two lateral leafy stems being the inflorescences 

 with bracts. 



ERIA sp. 



Angraecum lanuginosum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 108. 



The form described is doubtless an Eria of the section Tricho- 

 tosia. No species of this section has as yet been described from 

 Amboina under the binomial system. 



BULBOPHYLLUM * Thouars 



BULBOPHYLLUM sp. 



Angraecum uniflorum Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 107. 



The description of this plant in almost every point applies 

 to Bulbophyllum grandiflorum Blume, but so far as I know 

 Blume's species has not been recorded from Amboina.

In addition to the above form Rumphius describes two other 

 species in this chapter, one growing on Mangifera and other 

 trees, the other on Cocos. Hasskarl suggests that the first may 

 be Cymbidium wallichii Lindl., while Blume refers the latter, 

 from its Portuguese name Fulha alacra, to Arachnis flos aeris 

 Rchb. f. The suggested reductions of both, however, are con- 

 tradicted by Rumphius's descriptions.
