pedicle: column upright, semicylindrical, connected in front 
with the labellum, and terminated at the summit by a hol- 
low containing the stamen: in front, beneath this hollow, 
the stigma is borne: the anther is contained within an or- 
bicular lidshaped case or shell; is of an hemispherical form, 
with two roundish cells. 
The plant has been ascertained, by an authentic sample, 
to belong to the EPIDENDRUM ciliare of Linnzeus, with which 
cuspidatum of the preceding article has been pretty gene- 
rally confounded.
