128 EPIDENDRE X. 
There must have been some mistake on the part of Mr. Aiton, when he 
communicated this fine plant to Dr. Hooker as a native of Trinidad. The 
Nipalese specimens in Dr. Wallich's possession are indeed imperfect, but 
I have been permitted to examine a drawing in the possession of the East 
India Company, which supplies all deficiencies in the specimens, and 
which agrees entirely with the figure in the Botanical Magazine. I could 
not adopt Dr. Hooker's name without perpetuating an error, and that of 
Dr. Wallich is preoccupied by Dr. Blume; this will I trust be considered 
a satisfactory explanation of a new specific name having been applied.
