I may or may not be right in combining with the several specimens cited

species. Its most noticeable peculiarity is the pseudobulbous thickening of the 
stem, that is of the extremity of each member of the sympodium. 
Var. fusiform is var. nov. 
Apices caulium per internodia plurima incrassati, pseudobulbos form- 
antes fusiformes, 3—4 cm longos, plus minus 1 cm crassos, vaginis imbric- 
atis acuminatis vestitos, florigeros, et ad apicem foliosos ; racerni densiores. 
Luzon, Province of Benguet, Mount Tonglon, For. Bur. 5061 Curran , (type), 
August 8, 1906, epiphytic in top of tree, flowers white with pink center. Merrill 
.'/590, from an altitude of 2,100 m on Mount Data, District of Lepanto, Luzon,
