to the middle into triangular-oblong lobules. Dise with 
two fleshy semiglobose calli at the base and with three

Epidendrum hondurense is allied to Id. paniculatum 
Ruiz & Pavon (12. floribundum HBK.), but is distinet 
in the outline of the labellum. In the type the sepals and 
petals exhibited a distinct tendency to become blackish 
with age. The lateral lobes of the labellum are sometimes 
almost free from lobules and exhibit only a slight tenden- 
cy toward a crenulate margin. This is true of Edwards 
no. 228.
