NEW SPECIES, VU

In the following paper forty-seven new species of Philippine 
orchids are proposed and described. Of these eighteen are from 
Mindanao, fifteen from Luzon, ten from Leyte, two from Mindoro, 
one from the Babuyanes Islands, and one {Dendrobium verrucu- 
losum) from no specific locality, but presumably from Luzon. 
To my previously published notes the following groups are 
additions: Camarotis Lindl., Glomera Blume, Thecostele Reichb. 
f., Hippeophyllum Schlecht., and § Eudendrochilum of the genus 
Dendrochilum Blume. 
My conception of Camarotis philippinensis Lindl. is based on 
specimens from Leyte collected by Mr. C. A. Wenzel. These 
specimens agree with Lindley’s original diagnosis published in 
the Journal of the Linnean Society, and with a tracing in my 
possession taken from a drawing by Lindley on the type sheet of 
Camarotis philippinensis Lindl. preserved in the Kew Herbarium. 
Where measurements are given in the following descriptions 
they usually cover the range of variation exhibited by a series of 
specimens, otherwise they are maxima rather than averages. 
The genera are arranged in accordance with the sequence 
adopted by Pfitzer in Engler & Prantl’s “Die natiirlichen Pflan-
