mobile midlobe of the lip; Polycyenis by its very, slender 
column, Lacena by the midlobe of the lip constricted at 
the base, and Acineta by the very fleshy perianth, which | 
hardly expands, and theshort thick column. With regard 
to the pollinia, their structure is essentially the same in 
all (except that in some species of Peristeria there is no | 
strap), for that of Lueddemannia, as may be seen from the - 
figure here given, is not, as Reichenbach describes it, 
globose and sessile on the gland, but pyriform, with a 
distinct strap and rather large gland. It is, however, 
very possible, considering the tendency to bisexuality of 
_ the allied genus Catasetum, that two forms of pollen may 
occur in Lueddemannia. It is also to be noticed that the 
pollinia of our plant is flat and apparently imperfect. 
L. Pescatorei is a native of the mountains of Ocana, a 
province of New Grenada, at the mouth of the Magdalena 
River, where it was found at elevations of six to nine 
thousand feet by Schlim in 1848, who sent it to Linden, 
and it has been subsequently collected in the same country 
by Roezl. Specimens with the spike upwards of three feet 
long, and bearing upwards of ninety flowers, are known. 
The specimen here figured was sent for figuring by Mr. 
Moore of the Glasnevin Botanical Gardens, in July, 1889, 
the spike being thirty-four inches long. The flower had a 
strong scent, rather like decaying oranges.—J. D. H.
