Epidendrum virgatum Lindley in Hook. Journ. 
Bot. 8 (1841) 83. 
The combination J. virgatum was made by Velloso 
(Flora Fluminensis 9 (1827) t. 40) and would seem to 
invalidate the 27.07rgatum of Lindley, but this is not the 
case because Velloso’s plate in Flora Fluminensis is with- 
out analytical diagrams and no description of Velloso’s 
species was published prior to 1881.
