T N this paper orchids from the Philippine Islands and from 
-*• North and Central America receive attention. Among 
them are many that I have been unable to refer to species here¬ 
tofore described. The arrangement of the genera follows 
closely the secjaence adopted in Engler and Prantl’s “ Die 
naturlichen Pllanzenfamilien.” 
For an opportunity to examine some recently described 
species supposedly of Philippine origin I am indebted to 
Dr. Fritz Kranzlin, who kindly loaned to me his type speci- 
* mens prepared from plants cultivated in the botanic garden 
of Munchen-Nymphenburg. 
Habenaria alata Hook. Fxot. Flora 3 (1826) t. 169. 
Specimens recently collected by C. W. Powell extend 
the range of this species to Panama. Heretofore it has only 
been known to be a native of Mexico, Guatemala, Costa 
Pica and Nicaragua among the republics of North and 
Central America.
