as being 8-12 cm. tall with narrowly fusiform stems up 
to 4 em. long. The leaves of the two forms appear to be 
closely similar and the flowers are nearly identical. 
However, a Peruvian collection (Avllip & Smith 23625) 
which I refer to S. Antoni, consists of one small plant 
which is a good match tor S. /oretoensis (only with slen- 
der stems), together with other plants which are about 
35 em. high as in S. Antoni. The flowers of these plants 
are inseparable. 
Judging by the frequent conspicuous degree of var- 
iation in the vegetative proportions shown by plants of 
a single species in Scaphyglottis, it seems to be the wise 
course to consider S. /oretoensis as merely a small form 
of S. Antoni.
