LINDLEY ON PERUVIAN ORCHIDEE. l1 
stigmate obliquo ad apicem, clinandrio immarginato ad dor- 
sum stigmatis; rostello parvo obtuso. Anthera membranacea, 
semibilocularis, ecristata. Pollinia duo, pyriformia, apicibus 
subdiaphanis, verosimiliter viscidis. 
Of this I have only examined one specimen, and a single 
expanded flower; from which, however, it has been possible 
to determine the precise structure of this very singular genus, 
and which completely confirms the opinion hazarded in the 
Genera and Species of Orchideous Plants, as to the nature of 
the errors committed by Swartz in his descriptions of the only 
species at that time known. This isnearly related to Lepanthes 
tridentata.

Fig. 2, A vagina of the stem. Fig. 3, Side-view of an ex- 
panded flower. Fig. 4, Side-view of the petals, labellum, and 
column. Fig. 5, Half back-view of the column, with the 
two lobes of the labellum in situ. Fig.6, Inside of the label- 
lum, which has been torn from the column. Fig. 7, Apex of 
column, with stigma, anther, and pollen-masses in their 
natural position. Fig. 8, Pollen-masses.— Fig. 3 is magnified 
about ten times, and fig. 4 about sixty times; the others in 
proportion.

6. Stelis concinna; foliis ovato-subrotundis marginatis in

In habit, this is something like Lepanthes cochlearifolia,
