Lexarza, in their Novorum Vegetabilium DescriptioneSj under 

 the title of Maxillaria liliacea. These authors state that it is 

 met with near Valladolid, in Mexico, under the shade of 

 trees or sometimes growing over their roots, and flowering in 

 the summer months ; its vernacular name is Azuzena del 

 Monte. 



It is at present extremely rare ; I have not heard of it in 

 any collection except that of Mr. Barker. It will require the 

 same treatment as Bletias.
