District, Gardner 5207.— — Nearly related to Epiden- 
drum elongatum. Remarkable for its short falcate late- 
ral sepals and round lip, without any sort of fringing. 
(Not in cultivation.) 
*** Lip distinctly fringed m. or less, and usually deeply 
| obed. 
l| Zip with a concave lobed tubercle occupying the disk. 
11. E. xanthinum (E. ellipticum B flavum, Lindl. in Ann. Nat. 
Hist. vol. 4.); foliis distichis oblongis carnosis, caule 
longé aphyllo, sepalis petalisque patentibus lineari-lan- 
ceolatis zequalibus, labelli trilobi lobis lateralibus trun- 
catis grossé serratis intermedio cuneato denticulato, callo 
concavo acuto serrato.—— Brazil._—This is very like 
E. ellipticum, of which I formerly considered it a variety. 
Its yellow flowers are however peculiar; and upon further 
examination I find the central tubercle of the lip desti- 
tute of the shoulders that run off into the side lobes in 
E. ellipticum. According to Martius its stems are three 
feet high. Mr. Gardner's (no. 5205), from the province 
of Mines, are not half that size. (Not in cultivation.) 
12. E. elongatum (Jacq. B. M. t. 611. L. no. 54. Amphi- 
glottis secunda, Salisb. E. secundum, Linn. L. no. 57); 
foliis distichis oblongo-lanceolatis acutiusculis, caule apice 
longé aphyllo nunc ramoso squamoso, sepalis petalisque 
patentibus lineari-lanceolatis «equalibus, labelli trilobi 
lobis lateralibus truncatis denticulatis: intermedio dupló 
majore dilatato cuneato emarginato biloboque denticulato 
basi calloso: callo carnoso concavo acuminato crenato 
utrinque verrucá crenatä aucto.— — West Indies. 
Flowers bright rose colour. Leaves longer and thinner 
than in E. ellipticum. It can hardly be doubted that the 
Ep. secundum of Linnzus belongs here ; its character 
having been taken from a crushed and damaged specimen. 
13. E. ellipticum (Graham in Hook. Exot. Bot. t. 207: L. 
no. 56. Bot. Cab. t. 1216. E. crassifolium, È. no. 55.); 
foliis distichis ellipticis obtusis concavis succulentis, caule 
apice longé aphyllo nunc ramoso squamoso, sepalis peta- 
lisque patentibus lineari-lanceolatis «equalibus, labelli 
trilobi lobis lateralibus rotundatis laciniatis : intermedio 
minore truncato apice denticulato basi calloso, callo con- 
cavo plicato acuminato utrinque in lobos laterales decur-
