Epidendrum lguliferum is related to the Brazilian £2. 
Cooperianum Batem., but has dissimilar leaves and form 
of lip. It differs from the Bolivian 27. Hvelynae Reichb. t. 
in having spatulate-linear (not linear) petals and in having 
elongate (not small and rounded) calli at the base of the 
lip. The flower is apparently similar to that of the Bra- 
alian A. Burgert Schitr.
