trate this species. On examination of the type of Pleuro- 
thallis sagittata, I found eight pollinia, a character as- 
cribed to the genus Octomeria. Moreover, the lip is not 
sagittate, as shown on the illustration prepared by Reich- 
enbach, but merely short-clawed, as commonly observed 
in Octomeria Juergensu Schitr.

A comparison of the type of Hpidendrum Jenischianum 
with that of the published plate of 2’. rosewm convinces 
me that the two are conspecific. Both concepts are based 
on plants collected in Bahia, Brazil.

‘This rare species has recently been noted from Colom- 
bia. Mpidendrum florijugum is noted here for the first 
time as anew synonym. A copy of Barbosa Rodrigues’ 
original drawing of EH. florijjugum (as published by 
Cogniaux in Martius’ Flora Brasiliensis) has recently 
been re-published by Hawkes as Huebneria yauaperyen- 
sis in his ‘‘Eneyclopaedia of Cultivated Orchids’’.
