Epidendrum falsiloquum Reichb.t. was described 
(from living material sent to Reichenbach by W. Bull) 
as having linear acuminate leaves, with purple lines on 
the sheaths and ‘*The anterior lacinia of the lip has 
its from its narrow base two diverging linear blunt 
shanks,...°” 
Epidendrum Englerianum WLehm. & Kriinzl. of 
which the type collection is from Tunguragua, Ecuador, 
Lehmann no. 6721 (Lehmann no. 6722 is also cited). 
Both numbers are represented in Herb. Ames. The plants 
range in height from 80-48 em. including the inflorescence 
and are relatively slender. The leaves are narrowly lan- 
ceolate and acuminate, 3.5—-11 em. long, 4-18 mm. broad. 
Inflorescence terminal, simply and openly paniculate, up 
to 15 em. long including the peduncle which has one or 
two slightly spreading spathe-like bracts; these are nar- 
rowly lanceolate, long-acuminate and up to 4.5 em. long. 
Flowers about medium-sized (for the alliance). Lateral 
lobes of the labellum obliquely oval-alate. Mid-lobe of the 
labellum separated from the laterals by a distinct isthmus, 
its lobules linear-spatulate, divergent-falcate and trun- 
cately obtuse. Column only reaching to the base of the 
lateral lobes of the lip. 
Epidendrum frons bovis WKriinzl. was described trom 
specimens collected north of Moyobamba, Department of 
Loreto, Province of Moyobamba, Peru, by Weberbauer 
no. 4689. Judging from the description and a photograph 
of the type sheet, it differs little vegetatively from normal 
E.. paniculatum. The lateral lobes of the labellum are trans- 
versely and obliquely oval, deeply auriculate-cordate at 
base and their anterior margin is at right angles to the 
median axis of the labellum. The mid-lobe is separated 
from each lateral lobe by a narrow sinus, is 2-lobulate and 
the lobules are very divaricately falcate-oblong, their 
spread much exceeding that of the lateral lobes.
