so; disc above the claw and thelower third of themid-lobe 
provided with an ovate fleshy medianly channelled callus 
which extends into the thickened mid-nerve. Column 
short, abruptly reflexed near the base, exauriculate, 4. 1—5 
mm. long. 
Epidendrum Oestlundi is closely allied to, but is 
separable from EH. selligerum Batem. apud Lindl. in its 
smaller flowers and non-pandurate side-lobes of the lip. 
Mexico, State of Guerrero, near Plan del Molino. In mixed forest 
on trees. At 400 meters or more altitude. Collected January 10, 1933 
and flowered in Cuernavaca May 22, 1933. Erik M. Ostlund 2029 
(Collector O. Nagel) (Tyee in Herb. Ames No. 39431.) 
Epidendrum subulatifolium 4. Richard & Gal- 
eotti in Comptes Rend. Acad. Sci. Par. 18 (1844) 510, 
512, nomen; in Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 8, 8 (1845) 21. 
The non-diagnostic original description reads: ‘* Fol. 
teretibus subulatis acutis: scapo 4-5-floro; flor. intense 
luteis parvulis: labello suborbiculari integro, sinuoso. ”’ 
The only specimen of this species at Paris is one 
(Galeotti 5526) determined by Ames in September 1922. 
The type of the species (Galeotti 5073) was loaned to 
Reichenbach by A. Richard and was found by Ames at 
Vienna in the Reichenbachian Herbarium. There is also 
preserved in this herbarium the Galeotti water-color 
sketch of the species bearing an enlarged drawing (in 
color) of the flower. The herbarium sheets mentioned are 
of value in that they show the vegetative habit of the 
species; Galeotti’s sketch, however, is sufficient to place 
the species. 
In the material of Epidendrum sent for study by 
Mr. Ostlund are two sheets which agree excellently with 
Galeotti’s sketch. We herewith submit an amplified de- 
scription of this heretofore uncertain species based upon 
these specimens and the data available from the photo-
