the ‘Virgin Orchid.’ It grows upon rocks, as on some 
of the Bocas islands, and certain of the coastal parts of 
the colony, or established in the higher boughs of tall 
trees, as along the southern coast of Ananzanilla [Man- 
zanilla|. It is never, to my knowledge, found inland. 
Frequently, the older plants grow into large clumps, 
and, seated upon either rock or tree, are observed to be 
in the full blast of sea spray, and high, strong winds, 
which oftentimes become gales of violence. The pseudo- 
bulbs are long and bulging, being hollow inside and form- 
ing the abode of ants, usually. 
**Diacrium bicornutum var. indivisum. Contrary to the 
habits of the preceding plant, there is another which likes 
the inland districts of the colony, and presumably it is 
never found close to the sea. . . . It is of smaller propor- 
tions altogether, but the most unobservant would recog- 
nize the similarity to its relatives. . . . The whole plant 
only assumes small clump proportions at its maximum 
development. ’”’

I have seen no material from Trinidad or Tobago which 
can be referred with certainty to Dichaea graminoides. 
It is clear from an examination of several collections at 
Kew, which Cogniaux cited from Trinidad as Dichaea 
graminoides (but which actually represent D. picta), that 
there was some confusion in his treatment of this species.
