with a circle of brownish purple, the middle lobe amber yellow 
with two patches of eugenia red at the base, the tip spotted with 
eugenia red. The spur marguerite yellow. 
This species was originally known from the collection of 
Cuming. 5 It was subsequently discovered by the late C. A. 
Wenzel, No. 180, July 15, 1913, from Dagami, Leyte, in forests 
60 meters above sea level. Kranzlin’s type of Saccolabium pan - 
therinum was collected by Loher, s. n. 
As pointed out by Ames, 6 Robiquetia pantherina is limited to 
the Philippine Islands, where it is rare. It “is closely related to 
R. spathulata J. J. Sm.,” from which it differs “in having the 
scale on the anterior wall of the sac obliquely ascending . . . 
Other differences are found in the contour of the labellum and 
in the somewhat differently shaped lateral lobes.” 
Robiquetia pantherina may be recognized among all known 
Philippine species by the conspicuous maculations on the petals 
and sepals and by the peculiar form of the labellum, particularly 
the structure of the spur.
