83. P. Lingua ; caespitosa, folio spathulato aouto emarginato carnoso caule 

 multo longiore, tioribus solitariis aut aggregatis, sepalis linetiribus acumi- 

 natis lateralibus basi valde productis apice liberis, petalis multo brevio- 



ribus obovatis obtusis apiculatis, labello lineari obtuso apice convexo. 



Brazil. Found on the Organ Mountains by Mr. Miers. It lias alto- 

 gether the appearance of PI. Lauceola. The leaves are about an inch 

 high, including the short stem. 



84. P. tribuloides (L. no. h.) ; " caule brevissimo monophyllo, folio lanceo- 

 lato obtuso emarginatove, pedunculo brevissimo unifloro, capsula globosa 



echinata." Jamaica. Flores minuti rubri, bracteis geminis ovatis 



parvis sub germiue. Sepala ovata : lateralibus semicounatis intus punc- 

 tatis. Petala colore saturatiore. Labellum oblongura, obtusum, con- 

 cavum, recurvatum, striatum, margine ciliato. 



** Lceves ; b. labello cordato. 



85. P. tentaculata (Liudl. in Comp. to Bot. Mag. 2. Restrepia tentaculata, 

 Ftippig & Etidl. gen. & sp. t. 59.) ; folio oblongo obtuso piano coriaceo 

 caule subbreviore, floribus 2-4 longe pcdunculatis disepalis, sepalis lineari- 

 lanceolatis acurainatis suba;qualibus infimo emarginato, petalis patentibus 

 filiformibus aequilongis, labello lineari basi utrinque lobulo rotundato 



acuto, clinandrio alto dentato. Peru. Stem and leaf each about 



eight inches long. Flower- stalks, including the ovary, two inches ; and 

 the sepals the same length. Sepals white and transparent. Petals and 

 lip dark purple. This is not a Restrepia, because it has only two pollen- 

 masses. 



86. P. Ilartwegii ; folio lanceolato coriaceo cauli valido breviore, floribus 

 dense aggregatis subsessilibus disepalis, sepalo inferiore cymbiformi 

 obtuso superiore multo latiore, petalis lanceolatis sequilongis, labello 

 nano hastato-cordato unguiculato basi alte canaliculato turn deflexo 

 utrinque supra flexuram lobato-crispato apice ovato concavo serrate, 



columna tei'eti, Loxa. This is a very remarkable plant. Its 



thick leathery leaves are nine inches and more in length, and the stem 

 that bears them is much longer, and as stout as a reed. The flowers are 

 large, and apparently of some pale colour, densely aggregated. The 

 column seems quite terete, and has an anther dorsal with respect to the 

 stigma. The pollen-masses are two. 



87. P. laurifolia (L. no. 2.) ; " caule monophyllo, folio oblongo acuminato 

 basi angustato, floribus fasciculato-congestis, foholis calycinis exteriori- 



bus lateralibus apice liberis." Popayan. Perhaps the same as 



P. succosa. 



88. P. succosa (L. no. 3. P. nmlticaulis, Poppig & Endl. n. g. & sp. t. 82.); 

 caule tereti folio ovato-lanceolato succoso triple longiore, floribus fasci- 

 culatis subsessilibus, sepalis lanceolatis : lateralibus omnino connatis, 

 petalis liuearibus subulatis, labello minimo cordato ovato carnoso recurve 



columnre longitudine. Perit. Caulis semipedalis. Folium 2 uncias 



longum. Petala Integra, sepalis paulo breviora. Columna nana, anthera 

 horizontali subglobosa. 



89. P. tridentata (Klotzsch in AUg Gartenz. no. 37. 18-10) ; caule secun- 



dario tereti monophyllo, folio oblongo-lanceolato superne attenuate apice
