separate stipes or directly attached to separate viscidia. 
In these characters Jumellea agrees with Angraecum. It 
differs in the lip which is usually lanceolate and tapering 
toward the base and never envelops the column. The 
unadorned slender spur has a narrow opening. The in- 
florescence is always one-flowered; flowers distinctly 
long-pedicellate. 
Jumellea Cowanii (Ridl.) Garay, comb. nov. 
Basionym: Angraecum Cowanit Rid]. in Journ, Linn. Soc. 21: 484, 
1885, 
Loxoma Garay, gen. nov. 
Type: Micropera maculata Dalzell. 
Etymology: /owos= slanting and -oma=having the 
nature of, in reference to the reclining nature of the 
column. 
Sepala lateralia patentia, libera. Sepalum posticum 
petalis plus minusve conniventia, sed inter se libera. 
Labellum valde carnosum, pede columnae continum, 
porrectum, saccatum, basin cornubus 2, reclinatis orna- 
tum, supra lamina 38-lobata, maxima donatum, intus 
pilosum. Columna reclinata, humilis, crassa, basi in 
pedem crassum breviter producta. Clinandrium humile. 
Stigmata confluentia, maxima. Rostellum verticale, 
valde evolutum. Pollinia 2, inaequaliter bipartibilia, 
stipiti suleati, lineari-oblongi affixa; glandula distincte 
evoluta. 
Herbae epiphyticae; caulibus satis abbreviatis, pauci- 
foliatis; foliis articulatis, carnosis, emarginatis; inflores- 
centiis axillaribus racemosis, laxe multifloris, fere usque 
ad basin floriferis; floribus carnosis, maculatis. 
The characters of this new genus differ from those of 
Gastrochilus, in addition to the general appearance, in 
the reclining column, in the presence of a short column- 
foot, in the distinctly divided pollinia.
