The Epidendrum monile of Thunberg, which that writer says has acute 
leaves and white flowers, is a distinct species. See D. catenatum.

This species is the most variable that I know in point of size. Some of 
Dr. Wallich's specimens are not more than an inch and half high, with 
two or three leaves and as many flowers on each individual, while others 
are six or seven inches high, with numerous distichous leaves, and three or 
four long nodding racemes, each consisting of eight or nine flowers. The 
species is always distinguishable by the loose membranous sheaths which 
clothe the stem when the leaves have fallen off.

Hab. in Tavoy, Wallich. (hab. s. sp. Museo Anglo-Indico.) ; 
This species resembles in many respects D. denudans, from which it i$ 
abundantly distinguished by the loose sheaths of the fallen leaves not e 
vering the stem, and by the peculiar form of the lip. My specimens are 
from 3 to 4 inches high. The flowers appear to be white.
