Tliis species is very remarkable in the two auricles tliat exist between the 
corolla lobes. The pollinia too are rather unnsnal for the geinis.

Luzon, Province of Bataan, Mount Mariveles (3202 Merrill) January, 1904. 
In the mossy- forest at 1,300 m., rare. 
A very distinct species with elliptical-lanceolate rather thin leaves and rather 
large flowers. The material is rather scanty and I have seen but two flowers; 
accordinglj^ the inflorescence will have to he more fully described later when other 
material shall he available.
