The Colombian Mpidendrum Smithi (represented by 
a photograph of typical material, a flower from the type 
and a floral analysis by Schlechter), is morphologically 
inseparable from typical 2. wbaguense, but has much 
smaller bright rose-purple flowers. 
Epidendrum sororium, also from Colombia and repre- 
sented in the Ames Herbarium by a floral analysis made 
by Schlechter, is a species with small leaves and rather 
small flowers. The petals which are lanceolate-elliptic and 
the lip which has a subquadrate mid-lobe with only ¢ 
slight apical dilation, are very similar to those of many 
specimens of the variable 7. radicans. 
Epidendrum huanucoense, from Peru, is described as a 
tall plant (about 150 cm. high) but has small rose-colored 
flowers of almost exactly the same size and form as those 
of H. Filomenoi. Indeed the single notable difference 
between these species is that the mid-lobe of the lip ap- 
pears to have an abbreviated claw or isthmus which places 
it as a synonym of FE. tbaguense rather than of var. con- 
Jluens.
