Reichenbach Herbarium, is apparently a similar species 
with oblong-ovate to oblong leaves which are described 
as cartilaginous-denticulate on the margin (a character 
which is more or less marked in all specimens of this al- 
liance which I have examined). The sepals are shown as 
elliptic-lanceolate and the petals which are described as 
broader than the sepals, are lanceolate-elliptic or ‘‘cune- 
ate-rhombic’’ and minutely denticulate above. The lip 
appears to be very similar to that of J. calanthum except 
that the rounded lobules of the mid-lobe are described 
and sometimes shown as overlapping. The color is noted 
as vermilion, the lip being yellow and vermilion (or yel- 
low with few dark purple spots). 
Epidendrum pristes, described from a cultivated spec- 
imen of uncertain origin, is a slender plant with leaves 
minutely serrate. The drawing of an expanded flower, 
from the Reichenbach Herbarium, shows vermilion el- 
liptic-lanceolate sepals and petals, the latter being serrate 
above. The yellow vermilion-spotted lip has semiorbic- 
ular irregularly dentate lateral lobes and a smaller cuneate 
retuse mid-lobe. It appears to be very similar in form to 
the lip of L. fulgens Brongn. 
The Colombian /pidendrum caucae, represented in the 
Ames Herbarium by a floral analysis made by Schlechter, 
is a tall plant with adventitious roots as in £7. radicans, 
small leaves and orange flowers which are slightly larger 
than in typical 2. chaguense and very similar to those of 
EI. fulgens. The elliptic petals have slightly crenulate 
upper margins. The lip has an outline very similar to 
that of HH. fulgens with a mid-lobe which is relatively 
small and cuneate-flabellate. 
Kpidendrum Filomenoi, trom Peru, is described as a 
small plant up to 20 em. high, with small rose-colored 
flowers. The petals, which are elliptic-oblong and nar- 
rower than the sepals, have crenulate or erose margins.
