The present paper is essentially similar to its predecessors. 1 
It consists of descriptions of four new species. The genera 
Bromheadia- and Ascoglossum are new to the Philippines. Ne- 
phelaphyllum pulchrum Blume and Ascoglossum calopterum 
(Reichb. f.) Schltr. are for the first time credited to the Phil¬ 
ippines. Illustrations of two Philippine species, NephelaphyL 
lum mindorense Ames and Plocoglottis lucbanensis Ames, are 
also included. 
All descriptions in the text have been prepared from living 
specimens, and all colored illustrations were made by Mr. Pe¬ 
dro Ramos, draftsman of the National Museum Division, Bureau 
of Science. All line drawings were prepared by Messrs. Ma- 
rasigan, Aguilar, and Castelo, and Miss Ico, artists of the Na¬ 
tional Museum Division. All the types of the new species have 
been deposited in the Philippine National Herbarium, Bureau of 
Science, and the isotypes in the herbarium of the senior author. 
Available types will be distributed to American and European
