Obs. This genus is nearly related to Cymbidium among Vandee and to 
Cattleya among Epidendrez, from both which its peculiar habit is alone 
sufficient to distinguish it, From Dendrochilum it is only known by the 
absence of horn-like processes from its column ; for the lip of some of the 
Gomphostylis section is entire, and C. (Panisca) parviflora is a Dendro- 
chilum in every thing except the want of these processes. "There isa 
strong tendency to produce a gland in some species such as C. praecox, 
uniflora, and fimbriata ; but this is a mere granular mass such as the filum 
Y Epidendrez and will not be confounded with the cartilaginous gland of 
andez.
