Bletia Lankesteri (4. & S.) Ames, Hubbard & 
Schweinfurth, comb. nov. 
Limodorum Lankesteri Ames & Schweinfurth in 
Sched. Orch. 10 (1980) 78. 
As this species has not heretofore been recorded un- 
der Bletia a new combination is necessitated. The reten- 
tionof Limodorum as the generic name of the well-known 
European species, L.abortivum Sw., restores Bletia as a 
ralid generic name. 
Kefersteinia lactea Reichenbach filius apud B.D. 
Jackson in Index Kewensis 2 (1895) 4. 
Zygopetalum lacteum Reichenbach filius in Gard. 
Chron. (1872) 1290. 
The authority usually cited for the combination 
Keferstemia lactea is Reichb.f. in Gard. Chron. (1872) 
1290. The actual combination published there is Zyco- 
PETALUM (IXEFERSTEINIA) LACTEUM, 7. sp. The earliest 
appearance of the combination Aefersteimia lactea that 
we have found is in Index Kewensis, as cited above. 
Maxillaria angustissima des, Hubbard & 
Schwemfurth, nom. nov. 
Maaillaria acutifolia Schlechter in Fedde Repert. 
Beihefte 19 (1928) 229, non Lindley (1839). 
Owing to the prior use of the combination JZaail- 
laria acutifolia by Lindley in 1839 its use by Schlechter 
in 1923 is invalid, making a new name necessary. 
Maxillaria flava Ames, Hubbard & Schweinfurth, 
nom. NOV. 
Ornithidium ramonense Schlechter in Fedde Repert. 
Beihette 19 (1923) 248, non Maaillaria ramonensis
