EPIDENDRUM.

( 78 ) (Spathacea) EUEPIDENDRUM.

on the side of Tolima, at the height of 6000 feet; February
—Linden, 1279, (v. s. sp.)

A singular species, with racemes more than a foot long, covered with
distant leafy bracts full half an inch long. Flowers green, fleshy. Stem
from two to three feet high.

243. E. imbricatnm. BO., 71.

E. canle ramoso, foliis distichis lineari-oblongis obtusis, spicis
ovato-oblongis imbricatis, bracteis carinatis obtusis, sepalis peta-
lisque ovatis acutis subsequalibus erectis, labello ovato acuto
obsolete crenulato.

Wild in Brazil ; pendent from large trees in the Organ
Mountains—Gardner, 630, (v. s. sp.)

Spike almost like a strobilus, two inches long, by one and a half inch broad.
Flowers white.”— Gardner.

244. E. bifarium. Swartz FI. Ind. Occ.,111. 1509. LO., 69.

E. foliis distichis cordato-lanceolatis acuminatis horizontali-

Smith et Hooker i)

Stem two to four inches high. Flowers greenish white. Bracts somewhat
falcate, keeled, as long as the ovary. The only specimens I have seen of this
are in Mr. Smith’s herbarium, from Swartz himself, and in Sir William
Hooker’s. Its amplexicaul fleshy somewhat falcate leaves, and long naked
ancipitous zigzag spike, are very different from anything else in the genus. ,

245. E. piperinum. Lindley, in Ann. Nat. Hist., XV. 256.

E. caule ramuloso, foliis distichis succulentis oblongis obliquis

obtusis laxe vaginatis, peduneulis brevissimis terminalibus subbi-
floris, sepalo dorsali petalisque filiformibus erectis lateralibus

Wild in New G-renada ; Penon du Pan de Azucar, on the side

of Tolima, at the height of 6000 feet, Eebruary—Linden,

1280, (y. s. sp .)
