trees in the temperate parts of the province of Tumbez, near 

 Zaruma, in Peru, and a village called Catacocha; it was also 

 found cultivated in the gardens of Loxa, at an elevation of 

 between 6 and 7000 feet above the sea. Its Spanish name is 

 said to be Periquito. 



Upon comparing our plant with the original fio-ure of 

 Anguloa in the Flora Peruviana it is obvious that it° cannot 

 be referred to that little known genus, one of the most dis- 

 tinctive characters of which is having what Ruiz and Pavon 

 call a chrysalis-shaped lip (that is, we presume, a lip rolled 

 up in the form of a chrysalis J seated on a long stalk; by which 

 circumstance in particular it is distinguished from Maxillaria. 



Thus it appears that neither of Humboldt's An<niloas 

 belong to the genus; A. superba being this Pensteria 

 Humboldti, and A. grandiflora bring Stanhopea insio-nis. 

 With respect to Poppig's Anguloa sgualida, the figures of 

 this author are so bad that it is difficult to say what it is • it 

 may really be an Anguloa.
