EXPLANATION OF ILLUSTRATION 
Srevis RuBENS Schltr, var, oxyperata (Sehiir.) Ames. 
Plant natural size, drawn from no.545 of J.B.Ed- 
wards’ Honduran collections. 1, a portion of the 
raceme about twice natural size. 2, column with 
petals and labellum attached. 3, petal. 4, column 
and labellum, side view showing the protuberant 
stigma, the obliquely erect rostellum and the an- 
ther. 5, flower much enlarged. 6, pollinia. 7, la- 
bellum. All drawn with the aid of the camera lu- 
cida from specimens preserved in alcohol. 
The text cut on page 9 was drawn with the aid of 
the camera lucida from a flower of Schlechter’s 
type of S. oxypelala. 1, labellum, side view. 2, la- 
bellum, as seen from above. 8, petal. 4, flower. 
Nore: The raceme of the specimen illustrated ex- 
ceeds the leaf. It should be noted that racemes 
may equal or hardly exceed the leaf. With regard 
to the form of the labellum reference should be 
made to the note on page 13. 
By an oversight the authority as given on the plate 
is erroneous and should read (Schltr.) Ames.
