might be readily obtained by any one trading with Florida. 
It is a slender species, with the habit of Epidendrum odo- 
ratissimum, but with much larger flowers, (whose colour is 
unknown,) and very 'narrow leaves. The pseudo-bulbs are 
small and terete, with a narrow tapering neck. A Botanist 
will recognise it by the following definition :— 
E. tampense (Encyclium) ; pseudobulbis anguste ovatis acu- 
minatis teretibus, foliis linearibus apiculatis paniculà 
racemosa sparsà duplo brevioribus, sepalis petalisque 
oblongo-linearibus acutis, labelli tripartiti laciniis late- 
ralibus linearibus obtusis intermedià basi obscuré 3- 
nervià oblongà acutà paulo longiore.
