Lindl. 1. c. sub 63; Anguloa is distinguished by its authors by a „chrysalis-sha- 

 ped lip" and the ..twohorned column". The rolled up form of the lip is common; 

 processes of column are a very doubtful character. Pollenmasses and gland of 

 Anguloa uniflora are not dislinct trom these of Lycaste Deppii. The funnel-sbaped 

 middle lobe of lip occurs in Lycaste aromatica. But that appendage is attached to 

 the lip by the base only in Lycasle, while in Anguloa it is united by the sides also. 

 The raain dilference is this : in Lycasle the lateral sepals are placed edge to edge ia 

 Ihe manner of a true Maxillaria; but in Anguloa they overlap each other very con- 

 siderably. This gives to Anguloa the look of Mormodes. 



Jamieson in Hook. Lond. Journ. H, p. 658: The fine genus Anguloa, a native ofthe 

 province of Loxa produces a flower, which from some fancied resemblance to a 

 buUs bead, has received the name of „el Torilo." 



1. ANGULOA UNIFLORA R. Pav. Syst. 228. Bot. Reg. XXX. 1844. 60: 



Pedunculo unifloro radicali squamis inflatis imbricanti vaginatis, flore 

 bractea spalhacea herbacea parum longiore; sepalis lateralibus anticis 

 petalisque acuminatis. labelli glabri lobo medio angustissimo reflexo, 

 laleralibus rotundatis, lamina appendiculari retusa duplo latiore, clinan- 

 drio lacinulis acutis aucto. 

 *' Mr. Barker flowered it, we believe among Linden's collections in Columbia. Accor- 

 diog to Ruiz and Pavon it is found in precipitous places about Menna and Chincao 

 iu Peru, and profusely in ihe wood of Tarma, where it is called ,,Carpalis." 

 Perigonium luride album; labelli maculis quibusdam roseolis. 

 Fig. 2. shows the column with the two thin sharp pointed processes , whicb pro- 

 ject forward ; it will be remarked upon coraparing ihis fig. with that in the centre 

 of the flower, ihat there are in the latler two additional plates, looking like lappets. 

 These bodies were missing in the first flower that we saw, and were only present 

 in ihe second; they belong to ihe sides of the anther and are, it is to be supposed, 

 accidental developments.
