Heterotypic synonyms: Eria stellata Lindl., Bot. Reg. View in CoL 11: t. 904, 1825. Pinalia stellata (Lindl.) Kuntze, Revis. View in CoL Gen . Pl. 2: 679, 1891.

Eria fragrans Rchb. f., Bot. Zeitung (Berlin) 22: 415, 1864. Pinalia fragrans (Rchb.f.) Kuntze, Revis. Gen . Pl. 2: 679, 1891. Type:— MYANMAR. Mon State: Mawlamyine District, Low’s collector s.n. (holotype: W-R 19965 & 43705).

Specimens examined:— MANDALAY. Pyinoolwin District: 1065 m, 20 Sep 1927, Bogg BG 10 ( K). TENASSERIM. Falconer s.n. ( K); same loc., Parish 75 ( W) . MON. Mawlamyine District : type . TANINTHARYI. Dawei District : 215 m, Aug 1961, Keenan et al. 770 ( E), det. P . Woods .

Distribution:— The eastern Himalayas, northeastern India, Myanmar and Southeast Asia as far east as New Guinea.

Notes:— The protologue of Dendrobium javanicum described obtuse leaves, not a feature of the plant we today call E. javanica . The holotype has not been located. It seems to have been Lindley (1830: 67) who first (with doubt) linked the name D. javanicum with his E. stellata . Ames (1908: 193) accepted this without question, and all later authors have unquestioningly followed this.
