The present paper is essentially similar to its predecessors . 1 It 
consists of descriptions of one new species and four new va¬ 
rieties. Four previously described species, Dendrobium cerinum, 
Bulbophyllum Lobbii, Renanthera elongata, and Trichoglottis 
Guibertii, are for the first time credited to the Philippine Is¬ 
lands with certainty. Dendrobium anosmum var. Dearei and 
Dendrobium anosmum var. Huttonii, which were known only 
from their original descriptions, were recently rediscovered. 
Dendrobium Schuetzei, which is known only from Agusan and 
Surigao Provinces, Mindanao, is for the first time illustrated in 
color and redescribed. All the descriptions in the text have been 
prepared from living specimens, and all the illustrations were 
made by Mr. Pedro Ramos, draftsman of the National Museum 
Division, Bureau of Science. All the types of the new species 
and varieties have been deposited in the Philippine National 
Herbarium, Bureau of Science, formerly called Herbarium of 
the Bureau of Science, with isotypes in the herbarium of the 
senior author. Available isotypes will be distributed to the 
herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden and to other 
herbaria.
