This small species of Epidendrum is a native of Brazil, and 
has flowered in the garden of Mrs. Arnold Harrison at Aig- 
burgh, whence I received the specimen here figured. Two 
flowers only arise from the axil of the leaves at the top of the 
bulb. "The sepals, of which the 3 outer ones are combined at 
the base, are greenish-brown on the outside, pale at the base 
within; thelip, which is superior, white, slightly tinged with 
pink at the extremity.
