Eria bontocensis is nearly related to E. philippinensis and E. Elmeri. 
The elongated, narrow sepals and petals and the very prominent calli 
at the base of the labellum, one on each lateral vein, and the elongated 
stems are diffentiating characters, while from E. philippinensis the smooth 
flower stalks are quite serviceable for purpose of separation. In the 
flowers examined the labellum is minutely denticulate on the margin.

natae, acutae, coriaceae, rigidae in sicco, glabrae, valde rugosae
