Bot. Reg. XXIV. 1838. Misc. 177: Bifrenaria longicorms Lindl. 



If ihis plant is really to be referred to Bifrenaria , it will be necessary to niodify 

 the character of that genus very considerabiy ; for the lateral sepals are extended 

 into a long slender clavate spur, and there are 2 glands as well as 2 camliculae to 

 the pollen niasses. Its relationship to B. auranliaca is however such as to make 

 one unwilling to separate it at present. The flowers are orange spotled with 

 brown and in a raceme like that of the species just mentioned, iMessrs. Lodd. im- 

 ported it from Demerara
