Epidendrum tonodesme Schitr. The type is from 
Cauca, Colombia, Langlassé no. 98. It was described as 
about 60 cm. tall with oblong-ligulate leaves 11-13 em. 
long, 2.5-8 em. wide and with a many-branched panicle. 
As later illustrated (Fedde Repert. Beihefte 57 (1929) t. 
47, Nr. 182) the lip has the spread of the lobules of the 
mid-lobe about equal to that of the lateral lobes. The 
lobules of the mid-lobe are obliquely divergent, linear- 
oblong and obtuse. 
Epidendrum longicrure Schitr., collected by Madero 
in Cauca, Colombia, is most noticeable (as shown by the 
figure in Fedde Repert. Beihefte 57 (1929) t. 48, Nr. 
186 )in having very long obliquely divergent linear-oblong 
obtuse lobules of the mid-lobe which form an inverted V 
and in having the lateral lobes of the labellum obliquely 
triangular-ovate. The anterior margin of the lateral lobes 
is about at right angles to the median axis. 
Epidendrum macroceras Schitr. of which the type 
is H.Smith no. 2418 from Santa Marta, Colombia, is fig- 
ured (Fedde Repert. Beihefte 57 (1929) t. 48, Nr. 187) 
as having a lip with obliquely rounded-dolabriform lateral 
lobes and a mid-lobe with faleately oblong-lanceolate di- 
varicate lobules whose spread is nearly double that of 
the lateral lobes. 
Kipidendrum atacazoicum Schitr. (the type from 
Atacazo, Ecuador, collected by Sodiro, April 1900) is 
figured (Fedde Repert. Beihefte 57 (1929) t. 86, Nr. 334) 
as having the lateral lobes of the lip obliquely dolabriform 
and the mid-lobe as consisting of two divergent rather 
rectangular lobules whose spread is less than that of the 
lateral lobes. 
vpidendrum bifalce Schltr. of which the type is So- 
diro no. 68, collected on Mt. Chimborazo, Kcuador. It 
is figured (Fedde Repert. Beihefte 57 (1929) t. 116, Nr. 
457) as having the lateral lobes of the lip asymmetrically
