sigmoid, a character which alone does not warrant the 
inclusion of this species in the genus Hewisea, as pro- 
posed by Dressler. 
Teuscheria Wageneri (Ichb.f.) Garay comb. nov. 
Basionym: Bifrenaria Wageneri Rchb.f. in Bonpl. 2: 
17, 1854. 
Synonym: Teuscheria venezuelana Garay in Rhodora 
61; 39, 1959. 
Recently, I had the opportunity to examine the type 
specimen in the Reichenbach Herbarium of the poorly 
described Bifrenaria Wageneri. This examination con- 
vinces me that my T'euscheria venezuelana is identical in 
every respect with Reichenbach’s type. 
Chondrorhyncha flaveola (Linden & Rchb.f.) 
Garay comb. nov. 
Basionym: Zygopetalum flaveolum Linden & Rehb.f. in 
Walp. Ann. Bot. Syst. 6: 662, 1863. 
Synonym: Stenia fimbriata Linden & Rchb.f. in Gard. 
Chron. 13138, 1868. 
Chondrorhyncha fimbriata Rehb.f. in Saund. 
Ref. Bot. 2: t. 107, 1878. 
Kefersteinia flaveola Schltr. in Fedde Rep. 
Beih. 7: 266, 1920. 
It is rather unfortunate that the type of Zygopetalum 
flaveolum consists only of a colored drawing, which was 
prepared by Mr. Schlim in the field. Yet this drawing 
is so carefully executed that it leaves no doubt as to its 
identity with Chondrorhyncha fimbriata, a species that 
still grows in the vicinity of Ocafia, where Schlim col- 
lected it over one hundred years ago.
