—— Mezico.—— Very like E. falcatum, but, according 
to Mr. Bateman, the leaves are more fleshy and longer ; 
in E. aloifolium the flower-stalk is more than twice the 
length of the sepals, while in E. falcatum it scarcely 
exceeds them; and in E. aloifolium the lateral and 
middle lobes of the lip are nearly equal, but in E. falca- 
tum the middle is twice the length of the sides. I have 
never seen the plant. 
9. E. saratile (Lindl. in Hooker's Journal, 8. 84.); caulibus 
fusiformibus apice diphyllis, foliis lineari-lanceolatis 
racemo paucifloro brevioribus, floribus membranaceis, 
sepalis oblongis petalisque filiformibus labello multo 
minoribus, labelli subrotundi trilobi laciniis rotundatis 
subrepandis intermediam bilobam reniformem serratam 
imbricantibus.— — Brazil. ——W hole plant less than six 
inches high. Flowers membranous, reddish purple, with 
darker longitudinal streaks, as large as in E. Schom- 
burgkii. 
10. E. rupestre (Lindl.in Hooker's Journal, 3. 84.); cauli- 
bus filiformibus vaginis membranaceis vestitis diphyllis, 
foliis lanceolatis acutis pedunculo ancipiti zqualibus, 
racemo cernuo, bracteis membranaceis acuminatis ‘pedi- 
cellis brevioribus, sepalis oblongis petalisque lineari- 
spathulatis obtusis, labelli trilobi laciniis lateralibus 
acutis margine postico serratis intermedià rotundatä 
integrà lineis tribus elevatis rugosis. —— Peru. 
Flowers yellow, the size of E. conopseum. 
11. E. Hartwegü (Lindl. in Plant. Hartw. p. 150); foliis 2 
oblongis obtusis coriaceis apice obliquis spice rigide 
_multiflore basi spathaceæ caulisque bulbosi teretis longi- 
tudine, floribus coriaceis, ovario triquetro clavato, sepalo 
supremo oblongo obtuso lateralibus acutissimis, petalis 
obovatis, labello subrotundo æqualiter trilobo basi callo 
pubescente concavo aucto, ungue et columna brevissimis. - 
——Peru.—— This has somewhat the habit of E. varie. 
gatum, but the lateral lobes of the lip are very conspi- 
cuous, and it is much thinner.
