Jamaica, Macfayden: Wilson: March: Mabess River, Harris. 
ILtusrraTION: 1, from a drawing of the Wilson plant in Herb. 
Kew., natural size. 2, from a drawing of a leaf and stem of the Wilson 
plant (enlarged). The ciliations of the sheaths not shown. 3, leaf and 
stem of the Cuban plant (no. 10371) twice larger than natural size. 
4, flower of the Cuban plant (no. 10871) much enlarged. 5, column 
of the Cuban plant (no. 10548) showing the post-pollination condition 
of the stigmas, much enlarged, with a pollinium attached to one of the 
stigmas. 6, pollinia of the Cuban plant (no. 10371) much enlarged, 
imbedded in the glutinous material of the rostellum. 
NOTES ON THE FOLLOWING ILLUSTRATION: The petals 
of L. melanantha as interpreted by Reichenbach are nar- 
rower and longer than those of Wright’s 3342 (type num- 
ber) in the Gray Herbarium, and the labellum is acumi- 
nate rather than rounded at the apex as in the specimens 
of Wright 3342 in the Gray Herbarium. Furthermore 
the petals of the Gray Herbarium specimen lack a dis- 
tinct median nerve. 
The enlarged drawings of the flowers and the ac- 
companying analyses are from Reichenbach’s drawings 
in the Reichenbachian Herbarium. With the exception 
of g, which is much reduced, all of the analytical draw- 
ings are practically equal in size to the originals. 
It may be noted that the sepals in Reichenbach’s 
drawing of Lepanthopsis floripecten are longer in relation 
to the labellum than is true of Edwards’ plant. In this 
regard it is worthy of remark that Lindley’s sketch of a 
flower of the Wagener plant resembles the flowers of the 
Edwards plant very closely. Allowance must of course
