At the date of publication of the “ Genera Plantarum ” 
the genus Lueddemannia was very imperfectly known, and 
in the absence of flowers with pollen, Bentham reduced it © 
to Cycnoches, observing that (according to Reichenbach) it — 
differed only in the pollinia being sessile on the minute 
caudicle. Reichenbach himself says (in Bonplandia) that 
Lueddemannia differs from Lacena (see tab. 6516 of this | 
Magazine) in the depressed spherical two-lobed ? pollinia, by — 
which it also differs from Cycnoches, and he describes the 
genus as having the habit of Acineta and Peristeria, and — 
as closely allied to Cyenoches barbatum, Lindl. (Bor. Maa. 
t. 4479), which is the Polycyenis lepida, Reichb. f. (in Bon- 
pland. 1855, p. 218). , 
The above-named genera may be divided into two 
natural groups, those with pseudobulbs bearing on their 
sides leaves or sheaths to which belongs Cyenvoches ; all 
the rest having this organ perfectly naked and leafing 
at the summit only. Of these latter Peristeria is dis- 
tinguished by its suberect scapes, globose flowers, and —
