trees in the temperate parts of the province of Tmnbez, near 

 Zaruma, in Peru, and a village called Catacocha ; it was also 

 found cultivated in the gardens of Loxa, at an elevation of 

 between 6 and 7OOO feet above the sea. Its Spanish name is 

 said to be Periquito. 



Upon comparing our plant with the original figure of 

 Ansuloa in the Flora Peruviana it is obvious that it cannot 

 be referred to that little known genus, one of the most dis- 

 tinctive characters of which is having what Ruiz and Pavon 

 call a chrysalis-shaped lip (that is, we presume, a lip rolled 

 up in the form of a chrysalis J seated on a long stalk; by which 

 circumstance in particular it is distinguished from Maxillaria. 



Thus it appears that neither of Humboldt's Anguloas 

 belong to the genus ; A. superba being this Peristeria 

 Humboldti, and A. grandijlora bring Stanhopea insignis. 

 With respect to Poppig's Anguloa squalida, the figures of 

 this author are so bad that it is difficult to say what it is ; it 

 may really be an Anguloa. ^
