ILLUSTRATION: 1, secondary stem (natural size) with four peduncles 
showing that the stem elongates as the successive peduncles are pro- 
duced. 2, general habit (natural size) showing that the stems are com- 
paratively short when the first peduncle is produced. 3, flower much 
enlarged. 4, gynostemium much enlarged. The heavily stippled areas 
represent the lateral stigmas. 5, labellum much enlarged. 6, petal 
much enlarged. 7, anther much enlarged showing the under side. 
8, pollinia much enlarged. 9, peduncle and raceme much enlarged. 
‘Iwo other species that appear to belong in Lepan- 
thopsis, namely Pleurothallis melanantha Reichb.f. and 
P. microlepanthes Griseb., are represented in herbaria by 
material that is difficult to analyze. P. melanantha was 
described from fruiting specimens with the perianth or- 
gans persisting. The gynostemium had suffered changes 
which obscure the structure that characterized the flow- 
ers before pollination was effected. P. microlepanthes in 
its post-pollination phases closely resembles P. melanan- 
thawhile at anthesis the gynostemium suggests the struc- 
ture that characterizes Lepanthopsis floripecten. It seems 
likely that both P. melanantha and P. microlepanthes are 
in the same alliance formed by L. floripecten and L. an- 
thoctentum, yet they appear to differ conspicuously from 
these species in the aspect of the inflorescence. Vegeta- 
tively and in the plan of the perianth they suggest LL. an- 
thoctenium very closely, with the dorsal sepal more ex-
