confused with the two following ones, as well as with 
V. Wrightii, Reichb. f., of the previous section. It is only 
known from Jamaica. The scales, or abortive leaves, are 
probably confined to the flowering branches, as they are not 
shown in Sloane’s figure. Grisebach describes the flower ¢s 
white, and the lip bearded along the middle, but the latter 
character was not found in the flower examined.

Readily distinguished from the preceding, with which it has 
been confused, by the barbellate lip. The sepals and petalsare 
described by Wright as green, and the lip white, with the lover 
hairs yellow. Wright’s number 3351 is mixed with a specinen 
of V. pheantha, Reichb. £., both at Kew and the British Musam.
