(Sw.) O. Ktze. and L. salvus (Reichb.f.) Griseb., are 
definitely known to occur in Cuba. 
Ornithocephalus inflexus Lindley in Ann. &

A number of concepts, based for the most part on 
minor variations, have been proposed for this variable 
species. A comparison of an analytical drawing in the 
Ames Herbarium of the type of O. Tonduzu in the 
Schlechter Herbarium with a photograph (with analyti- 
cal drawings) of the type of O. inflexus shows that these 
concepts are conspecific. An examination of a tracing in 
the Ames Herbarium of the type of O. elephas in the 
Reichenbach Herbarium reveals that it is referable to 
O. inflevus. An examination of the type of O. Pottsiae 
in the Gray Herbarium shows that it is the same as O. 
inflexus. 
This species has been found in Mexico, British Hon- 
duras, Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica where it 
occurs as an epiphyte on trees in forests and pasturelands 
up to 1100 meters altitude.
