Mindanao, Province of Agusan, west slope of Mt. Hilonghilong, alt. 400 
m, March 27, 1911, C. M. Weher 88. 
Appendicula Weberi in habit resembles A. effusa Schlechter, but is 
larger and apparently a much freer growing species with conspicuously 
elongated peduncles. In dried specimens the sepals have brilliant purple 
midveins. 
4. APPENDICULA (§ EU-APPENDICULA) WENZELII sp. nov. 
Herba epiphytica, ad truncus arborum, usque ad 50 cm alta, 
foliosa ; caulis simplex. Folia disticha, oblongi-lanceolata, usque 
ad 4.5 cm longa, 12 mm lata, superne breviora. Foliorum 
vaginae sublaxae, supra paulo dilatatae, intemodiis aequilongae. 
Inflorescentiae breves, usque ad 12 mm longae, flores albidi et 
purpurei, plus minus 5. Racemi quam folia breviores, terminales 
et laterales. Bracteae lineari-lanceolatae, usque ad 5 mm longae. 
Sepala lateralia triangularia, acuta, circiter 2 mm longa. Sep- 
alum dorsale elliptico-ovatum, 2 mm longum, 1.25 mm latum. 
Petala rhombico-spathulata, acuta vel subobtusa, circiter 2 mm 
longa. Labellum subquadratum, vel supra medium late ovato- 
lanceolatum et prope medium constrictum; infra medium callo 
hippocrepiforme, permagno, ad basim subsaccatum. Rostellum 
breviter bifidum, anthera sagittata. Pollinia 6. 
Leyte, Dagami, 60 m above sea level, apparently preferring locations 
near running water, September 29, 1912, C. A. Wenzel 10. 
Appendicula Wenzelii in habit resembles quite closely A. Fenixii (Ames) 
Schlechter, from which it is easily distinguishable by the structure of the 
labellum. The flowers are produced from the axils of the leaves, from 
near the base of the plant to the apex.
