Luzon, Province of Rizal, Bur. Sci. 1775 Ramos, January, 1907, epiphyte, 
flowers purplish. 
This is a curious little species on the borders of the section, named for the 
assiduous collector, Maximo Ramos. 
The following species can not be legitimately assigned to an established section. 
In habit it faintly suggests § Mycarantlies, but the flower is quite different from 
that of this section.
