differs in nothing but the imperfect union of the labellum 
with the columna; a circumstance not common indeed, 
but far from unknown, in that genus. We therefore cannot 
assent to its being referred to Encyclia, which, although 
very nearly related to Epidendrum, appears to have been 
judiciously distinguished by Dr. Hooker on account of its 
connivent sepals and petals, and its cucullate labellum, 
which has no adhesion with the columna. 
It is scarcely to be doubted, that the Macradenia lu- 
tescens of our friend Mr. Loddiges is also this plant, and 
not the species figured under that name in the Botanical 
Register. The latter belongs to the tribe called Vandez.
