An examination of the type of Scaphyglottis parviflora 
in the Herbarium of the Natural History Museum, 
Vienna, has revealed only a single leaf for each pseudo- 
bulb (not two, as depicted by Poeppig) and three lobes 
to the lip. A good illustration of this species is found in 
Martius’ Flora Brasiliensis, vol. 3, pt. 6: t. 25, f.1, 1904, 
under the name of Ornithidium chloroleucum. This spe- 
cies has always lateral inflorescences, a character which 
automatically excludes it from the genus Scaphyglottis.
