LVII. BROUGHTONIA. 
Broughtonia. R. Brown in Hort. Kew. ed. 2. 5. 217. 
Sepala angusta, patentia, lateralia basi obliqua, cum labelli basi connata 
et decurrentia. Petala latiora, Labellum indivisum, ascendens, basi 
column adnatum, in calcare lineari, mellifluo, ovario connato decurrens. 
Columna brevis, crassa, apice dilatata. Anthera 4-locularis, septorum 
marginibus membranaceis. Pollinia 4, caudiculis replicatis. Herba 
epiphyta, pseudobulbosa, foliis carnosis, scapo terminali multifloro. 
This genus differs essentially from Cattleya not only in its habit, but 
also in the presence of a spur adhering to the ovarium, and to the decur- 
rent front edge of the lateral sepals. It is true that the presence OF 
absence of such a spur is accounted of no importance in Epidendrum, 
but in that genus it is unattended by other characters either of structure 
or habit. ; 
Mr. Brown seems to be acquainted with other species of Broughtonia, 
but as I am in possession of no other than B. sanguinea I have not thought 
it advisable to retain his specific diagnosis. Tetramicra, which agrees 
with Broughtonia in its cuniculate ovarium, is I think essentially distinct.
