Grammatophyllum scriptum Blume

GRAMMÀTOPHYLLUM Blume
Ophyrs. cernua Bianco Fl?7Filip. (1837) .639 (Ophiris) ; ed. 2 (1845) 445;
ed. à,-3’(1879) 35, t. 276, non LÌnn. = GRAMMATOPHYLLUM MUL-
TI fLORUM Lindi.
Blanco’s species was reduced by F.-Villar to Grammatophyllum
scriptum Blume, which while certainly correct as to the genus,
is as certainly wrong as to the/species, as Blume’s species does
not grow in the region from which Blanco secured his specimens.
There is no doubt in my mind that the form Blanco described
as Ophyrs cernua is Grammatophyllum multiflorum Lindl,, this
being the only species of the genus whose known die - ation
agrees with Blanco’s plant as to locality.
Illustrative specimen from Sorsogon Province, Luzon, August,
1915 (Merrill: -Species Blancoanae No. 930).
