82 LINDLEY ON THE GENUS EPIDENDRUM. 



In some of these I have the following new species to ailtl 

 from my own herbarium or those of my friends. 



§ III. Encyclium; floribus racemosis. 

 1. E. nemorale ; pseuclobulbis .... foliis . . . . scapo apice 

 dense racemoso sub-10-floro pedunculisque scabris, sepalis 

 petalisque lineari-lanceolatis acuminatis aequalibus patentibus, 

 labelli trilobi laciniis lateralibussemiovatis acutiusculis cucul- 

 latis intermedin maximl ovatti; callo ad laminae basin si to ob- 

 soleto antrorsum evanescente. — A beautiful plant, with very 

 large flowers, apparently pink or purple. The sepals and 

 petals are two inches long, and the middle lobe of the lip is 

 an inch long and | of an inch broad. — Found by Karwinski, 

 in May, 1827. Parasitical on trees in Mexico, in groves near 

 Sultepec. (herb. reg. monac.) 



2. Y.. pterocarpiim ; pseudobulbis ovalibus compressis di- 

 phyllis, foliis . . . racemo angusto, sepalis petalisque sub- 

 aequalibus linearibus acuminatis patentibus, labelli subrotundi 

 trilobi cordati laciniis lateralibus I'otundatis intermedia multo 

 longiore acuta basi callo pubescente obscure tridentata auctd> 

 capsula ovata trialata. — The narrow raceme bears about 

 10 flowers, which in the dried state are of a dull buff, between 

 coriaceous and membranous, but very brittle. The lip seems 



to be yellow striated with crimson Collected at Teoxomulco, 



in the Province of Oaxaca^ in Mexico.^ by Karwinski. (herb. 

 Mart. Zuccar. et reg. monac.) 



3. E. hastatum; pseudobulbis . . . , foliis . . . , racenio 

 striate 6 — 7-floro, sepalis petalisque discoloribus lanceolatis 

 acutissimis patentibus, labello subrotundo emarginato sub- 

 angulato basi utrinque supra unguem lobulo aucto venis 

 baseos elevatis.— A very beautiful species, with deep purple 

 striated sepals and petals, and a broad ivory white lip. Th^ 

 latter has generally a short lateral lobe on each side of its 

 base so as to obtain a hastate form, but occasionally the lobes 

 are wanting. Near E. virgatum, but not panicled. — San 

 Pedro in the Province of Oaxaca, in Mexico, in the temperate 

 region, Karwinski, (herb. Mart, et Zuccar.)
