Thouars, Orch. Isles Afr. tab. esp. 3, sectiones 2 bene naturales distinxit: Cvs?ichis, oribus in 
racemo sparsis, et Distichis floribus braeteisque eleganter distichis. Lindley minus feliciter sectiones 
2 admisit: Euliparis, folis latioribus plicatis et. Cestichis (inclusa Distiche) foliis subeoriaceis non 
plieatis. Species prioris plereque nec omnes terrestres et illius ssepius epiphytiese, sed distinetio 
nee constans nec semper facile d la, et cb e florum structura nondum ad genus 
bene dividendum utuntur,

Indica, pro genere distineta fuit sepalis lateralibus basi colummew adnatis, quod tamen in speci-
