The present contribution is, like the preceding one, 1 the result 
of further studies of those orchids in the Philippines that appear 
to deserve recognition as being new. Five species, which have 
been described previously, are here recorded and redescribed, 
one of these from the Archipelago for the first time. Five 
species and two varieties are here proposed as new. The ar¬ 
rangement of the genera follows the sequence proposed by Pfitzer 
in Engler and Prantl’s “Die naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien.” All 
the illustrations and descriptions have been prepared from liv¬ 
ing specimens. The colored illustrations and ink sketches were 
made by Messrs. J. M. Salazar and P. Ramos, draftsmen of the 
division of botany, Bureau of Science. Unless otherwise in¬ 
dicated in the text, the types of the new species and varieties 
have been deposited in the herbarium of the Bureau of Science, 
with the isotypes in the herbarium of the senior author.
