material it is highly probable that this character is a peculiarity of the species. 
When the plants mature their fruit, the racemes enlarge in diameter and the 
slender raceme represented in “Orcliidaceae” Ease. Ill is hardly characteristic. 
Notes made by the collectors indicate that the flowers are white. 
According to Mr. Eaton’s notes, E. clausa is nearly related to E. pusilla, from 
which it differs in its broader petals and deeply cymbiform but not saccate 
labellum.

Epipactis rubicunda (Bl.) A. A. Eaton in Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash. 21 
(1908) 65. 
Of this species there are two specimens in the herbarium of the Bureau of 
Science which A. A. Eaton identified as E. rubicunda. In accordance with the 
rules of priority and in conformity with the articles of the Vienna code governing 
nomenclature, Eaton referred to the genus Epipactis all the species formerly 
grouped under Goody era, asserting that the name Epipactis appears to have been 
first used by Boehmer in the third edition of Ludwig’s “Definitiones Generum 
Plantarum.” Although Boelimer published no binomial combination he gave 
several references to the plant designated by Linnaeus as Satyrium repens, now 
generally known as Goodyera repens R. Br. or Peramium repens Salisb. 
The specimens of Epipactis rubicunda already referred to are showy plants with 
elliptic, acuminate leaves nearly 1.5 dm long and with channeled petioles, 3 to 
6.5 cm long, which clasp the stems. 
The inflorescence is rather densely many-flowered, 1.8 to 3 dm long. The 
pubescent flowers are about 8 mm long, nearly exceeded by the narrowly lanceolate, 
pubescent, acute floral bracts.

For a detailed account of Eaton’s reasons for taking up the name Epipactis for 
the species formerly referred to Goodyera, his paper cited above should be con- 
sulted. The species formerly included in Epipactis are placed by Eaton in 
Serapias.

Coelogyne Rochussenii De Vriese Illustr. Orchid. Indes Oriental. (1854) 
t. 2; t. 11, f. VI. 
This species is represented in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science by a 
single specimen. The leaf is broadly lanceolate or elliptic, acuminate, conspic- 
uously nerved. The lamina is 2.5 dm long, 11 cm wide; the slender petiole 
exceeds 5 cm in length. The flowers are produced in elongated, flexuose racemes. 
A scaricus elliptic bract, 1.8 cm long, subtends each flower. The sepals and petals 
are narrowly lanceolate, about 2.5 cm long. The labellum up to the base of the 
middle lobe is provided with three denticulate carinae, and beyond the base of the 
middle lobe two additional, abbreviated carinae arise. The middle lobe is 
acuminate. 
Although C. Rochussenii is referred to the § Tornentosae in Pfttzer’s mono- 
graph of the Coelogyninae, the material at hand is sparsely furfuraceous and, with 
the exception of the ovaries, nearly smooth.
