An examination of drawings and analyses made under 
the supervision of Schlechter of the types of Scaphyglottis 
cuneata and Tetragamestus gracilis, and a comparison 
of descriptions show that there is no essential difference 
between these two concepts and that of S. prolifera. 
An examination of sheets of the type collection in 
the Herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden and 
in the United States National Herbarium shows that 
Ponera mapiriensis is referable to this species.
