150. COELOGYNE Lindl. 
Coelogyne integerrima Ames in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) Bot. 665. 
Another collection of this species has come to hand from Pauai where it was 
found at an altitude of 2,100 m. ■ The flowers are described by the collector as 
pale-green. In dried specimens the labellum appears to have been brownish at 
the base and near the middle. The graceful racemes are nearly erect or droop- 
ing, with about eight large flowers. Prom its appearance when dried this species 
ought to be worthy of cultivation for horticultural purposes.

Luzon, Benguet Subprovince, Pauai, Merrill 6620, May, 1909, on boulders 
in upper pine region, about 1,800 m altitude, flowers somewhat straw-colored, 
very fragrant, odor of Nymphaea. 
This species belongs in Pfitzer’s ninth section, Gristatce, and appears to be 
distinct from all known species of the genus. The carinae of the lip, five in 
number, are various in length, the middle one hardly extends to the base of the 
middle lobe while the outer ones are abbreviated, about 4 mm long, and situated 
near the lateral lobes. 
Coelogyne marmorata Beichb. f. is, from the description, a closely allied spe- 
cies. I have seen no material. G. Loheri Bolfe is another near ally, but belongs 
to quite another section of the genus. My conception of G. Loheri is based on 
a specimen in the U. S. National Herbarium which is a duplicate of the type 
number ( Loher 51/-9 ) .
