RUMPHIUS'S HERBARIUM AMBOINENSE 



are referable to the same species. It is well known that the 

 flowers of Phalaenopsis amabilis Blume vary considerably in 

 size, in the form of the sepals, petals, lip, and especially in the 

 size and markings of the yellow area on the lip. Specimens 

 with the sepals purplish on the outside are not rare. Rumphius's 

 description of the first form does not at all apply to Phalaenopsis 

 violacea T. & B., to which it was reduced by Has§karl. 



LUISIA Gaudichaud 

 LUISIA CONFUSA Rchb. f. in Walp. Ann. 6 (1861) 621. 



Luisia teretifolia Blume (non Gaudich.) Rumphia 4 (1848) t. 19U, f- 

 3, t. 197D. 



Angraecum decimum et angustifolium Rumph. Herb. Amb. 6: 104. 



Luisia teretifolia Gaudich., as formerly interpreted, contained 

 several distinct species. I think that Reichenbach was correct 

 in separating from it the Amboina form under the name Luisia 

 confusa Rchb. f .

The plant I described in my former treatment of the Orchida- 

 ceae of Amboina as Vanda crassiloba, is certainly not the same as 

 the species Teysmann and Binnendijk had in view. The latter 

 is very similar to Vanda celebica Rolfe and will probably prove 

 to be a variety of this or a closely allied species when fresh 

 material from Amboina shall have become available. The spe- 

 cies of the Vanda hastifera group are in want of revision. It is 

 evidently quite different from Cymbidium, where it was placed 

 by Hasskarl.
