Plant small, epiphytic, up to 17 em. tall, closely 
related to EH. tipuloideum Lindl. Stems approximate, 
slenderly subclavate, about 4—-5.5 em. high, altogether 
invested by close tubular scarious sheaths which waste 
into fibres, one- or commonly two-leaved at the apex, 
rugose in the dried state. Leaves narrowly linear, up 
to 11.7 cm. long and 4.2 mm. wide (generally much 
shorter), acute, the mid-nerve more or less prominently 
suleate above and carinate beneath. Inflorescence much 
shorter than the leaves, the longest scape about 4.5 em. 
high, clasped at the base by « loose tubular sheath which 
is up to 1.6 em. long. Raceme loosely 4— to 7-flowered. 
Floral bracts minute, lanceolate, membranaceous, many 
times exceeded by the slender pedicels. Pedicellate 
ovary up to 1.8 cm. long, laxly spreading. Flowers 
large for the plant, yellow in the dried specimen, rather 
fleshy in texture. Lateral sepals obliquely elliptic- 
lanceolate, prominently adnate to the column at the 
base, 11 mm. long, 3.2-4 mm wide, dorsally carinate- 
mucronate at the tip, prominently 7-nerved near the 
base. Dorsalsepal oblong-elliptic or oblanceolate-oblong, 
about 10 mm. long, 8.1-8.7 mm. wide, acute, conspicu- 
ously 7-nerved below. — Petals oblanceolate-linear, 
8.6-9.3 mm. long, more or less oblique, acute, 3-nerved. 
Labellum adnate to the apex of the column, 3-lobed; 
lamina about 5.1—5.5 mm. long from the center of the 
cordate base to the tip, about 6.4 mm. wide when ex- 
panded, bicallose at base; lateral lobes semiovate or 
rounded, obtuse, extending to about half the length of 
of the lip, erose on the margins; terminal lobe much 
larger, irregularly subquadrate, with a prominent tri- 
angular acute apex, or retuse and apiculate. Column 
stout, about 6.2 mm. long, dilated above. Anther 
broadly ovoid. Pollinia 4, complanate-ovoid. 
Epidendrum Broadwayi is very similar in habit to
