$ Everipenprum; caulis foliosus; pedunculus brevis 
esquamatus ; labellum adnatum. Lindl. in Hookers Journal, 
3. 81. 
a. Flowers solitary, or fascicled. 
1. E. equitans (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1838. misc. 76); caule 
folioso ancipiti, foliis equitantibus ancipitibus lanceolatis 
acuminatis, flore solitario terminali pendulo, pedunculo 
ancipiti, spatha diphylla foliolo inferiore erecto foliaceo 
flore longiore, sepalis linearibus acuminatis patulis, petalis 
conformibus pauld brevioribus, labello ovato-lanceolato 
complicato cum columnä basi connato medio trilamellato ; 
lobo medio carnoso semitereti recurvo lateralibus erectis 
membranaceis integris.——Mexico.—— A very curious 
species in its habit, which resembles Fernandezia very 
much. It is, however, a genuine Epidendrum, with a 
single flower of a dull chocolate brown. 
2. E. vesicatum (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 1838. misc. 89); caule 
elongato, foliis inflatis equitantibus carinatis acutis 
glaucis, floribus terminalibus fasciculatis carnosis foliis 
vix longioribus, sepalis lineari-oblongis acutis petalis 
conformibus angustioribus, labello subrotundo cordato 
lineà medià tuberculisque duobus basilaribus elevatis, 
collo ovarii medio vesicato.— — Brazil.——In habit this 
approaches E. equitans, but in the structure of both 
flowers and leaves it is widely different. The latter are 
covered with a glaucous bloom, imbricated, and more 
like inflated carinate bracts than true leaves. The 
flowers are greenish white, and offer some analogy with 
those of Physinga, but are in reality different from those 
of a genuine Epidendrum in nothing, except the neck of 
the ovary having an elevated semi.transparent blister 
near its middle. This blister is in fact the lower ex- 
tremity of the cuniculus of the flower. 
2 bis. E. tolimense ; caulibus ramosis scaberrimis, foliis ovato- 
lanceolatis, floribus 2-3 terminalibus sessilibus coriaceis, 
sepalis lineari-lanceolatis acutis striatis, petalis setaceis, 
labello subcordato ovato concavo apice carnoso basi ecal- 
loso intùs pubescente avenio. New Grenada.—— 
This species forms part of Mr. Linden’s rich collection. 
It was found in the forests of Tolima, 10,000 feet above 
the sea. The flowers are small, and of a dull yellow
