coarsely bidentate or tridentate on the margin or entire;

tapering gradually to the fleshy terete tip. Disc conspicu¬ 
ously 3-nerved, the nerves becoming verrucose where they 
terminate. Column about 6 mm. long, entire at the summit.

A close ally oi Epidendrum teretifolium Sw., from which 
it differs in habit and in the form of the labellum. From E. 
cobanense Ames & Schltr. it differs conspicuously in having 
more membranaceous, pliable flowers and a very dissimilar 
labellum.

Dendrobium bunuanense Ames nom. nov. 
Dendrobium appendiculoides. Ames Orch. 7 (1923) 93, 
non J. J. Sm. 
Owing to an unfortunate oversight, the prior use of the 
name Dendrobium appendiculoides for a species from New 
Guinea, published by J. J. Smith in Fedde Repert. 12 (1913) 
114, was not noted when the Philippine species to which I 
gave the name was published. The new name, D. bunuanense, 
has reference to Mt. Bunuan in Mindanao.
