Found in August, 1834, near Cumana. Communicated 
to this work in July, 1835, by the late Lord Grey of Groby. 
It is not a pretty species, but it is very distinct from any 
previously described, and. is remarkable for its stems being 
dilated at the upper end, like some of the species of Den- 
drobium. 
The station of the plant will be near Epidendrum concolor. 
It was procured by Mr. John Henchman for Messrs. Lowe 
and Co. of Clapton, by whom it was introduced along with 
Trichopilia tortilis and Mormodes atropurpurea.
