Excerpt from Orchidaceae, Vol. 5: Illustrations and Studies of the Family Orchidaceae; Issued From the Ames Botanical Laboratory, North Easton, Massachusetts; The Genera and Species of Philippine Orchids In the list that follows it has been necessary to exclude many species referred by authors to the Philippines on questionable evidence or on unreliable data. At the same time several spe cies have been included which, though inadequately known be cause of the absence of types, were originally described from material supposedly of Philippine origin. Furthermore, for pur poses of discussion, a very few species have been admitted to the list which have not yet been found in the islands, although ascribed to them by monographers.
