Notes:—
Myoxanthus oliviae
, described from
Peru
, was said to differ from
M. serripetalus
in the colour of flowers, brownish yellowish
vs
. dark-purple, an entire midlobe
vs.
fimbriate midlobe and apex of the petals sagittate
vs.
apex oblong to linear. According to our revision, the linear apex of the petals in
M. serripetalus
(and dark-purple flowers) appears to be consistent. However, the entire midlobe of the lip in
M. oliviae
and brownish flowers are inconsistent, but a fimbriate margin may also be found.
