This variable species, heretofore recorded only from 
Mexico and Central America to Panama, has recently 
been identified from Colombia and Peru. 
The latter specimen consists of a caespitose plant of 
eight highly variable stems, the longest of which is about 
S > Py 5 
24 cm. in length—longer than any before noted by me. 
The leaves, also, are longer than usual, being up to 4 em. 
long. The blades seem to be indistinctly, if at all, glau- 
cous (as in the usual form). The flower, however, is 
much smaller than usual, but has segments closely sim- 
g Ma 
ilar to those of the typical plant. 
Peru: Junin, east of Quimiri Bridge, near La Merced, at 800-1300 
meters altitude, epiphyte in dense forest, sepals green, June 1-3, 
1929, E.P. Killip & A.C.Smith 25412 (U.S. Nat. Herb. No. 1359631). 
Campylocentrum Ulaei Cogn. var. peruvianum 
C. Schweinfurth var. nov. 
Herba foliis minoribus, labello paullo diverso atque 
calcari majore U-formi a specie differt. 
Plant small, slender, epiphytic. Stem slender, about 
4.5 cm. long in the specimen, entirely concealed by loose 
conduplicate leaf-sheaths, lightly arcuate, producing be- 
low elongate fibrous roots. Leaves several, distichous, 
widespreading, small, narrowly lanceolate to narrowly 
elliptic-oblong, narrowed to a minutely and commonly 
obliquely bilobed apex, slightly contracted to a sessile 
base, up to 2.1 em. long and 5 mm. wide. Inflorescences 
lateral, racemose, much exceeding the leaves, puncturing 
the middle of the leaf-sheaths, densely many-flowered, 
up to about 6.5 cm. long, glabrous; peduncle filiform, up 
to 1.6 cm. long. Flowers very small, with membranace- 
ous subparallel segments. Dorsal sepal linear-lanceolate, 
subacute, l-nerved, about 2.8 mm. long and 0.8 mm. 
wide. Lateral sepals subequaling the dorsal sepal, narrow- 
ly and obliquely triangular-lanceolate, acute or acuminate
