mation to that of the type, as described and illustrated, 
except that the callus at the base of the lip is scarcely 
bilobulate as figured but appears to be a convex irregu- 
larly verrucose thickening. The lamina of the leaf is about 
26 cm. long and 5.5 cm. wide, whereas the description 
postulates a leaf-blade 15 em. long and almost 5 cm. wide. 
A collection from Panama represents a closely similar 
but even larger plant than described for Lindleyella picta, 
being 45-60 cm. high according to the collectors’ notes. 
The pseudobulb is only about 4 cm. high, instead of 5 
cm. as specified. The lamina of the leaf is about 27 cm. 
long (nearly twice as long as the one typified) and is about 
6.8 cm. wide; the petiole also is somewhat longer than 
described. The slightly larger flowers differ only in hav- 
ing a somewhat longer subquadrate lower portion of the 
hip and little narrower lateral lobes.

Lindleyella saxicola was based on a Colombian speci- 
men (Cundinamarca 4. Schultze 20), but I have recently 
seen acollection from Peru (Loreto, G. Klug 0.3). The 
plants forming this latter collection, while showing some 
variability, have generally much larger vegetative dimen- 
sions than those attributed to the type, but the floral 
measurements are very similar. The roots are very stout 
(about 2-3 mm. thick), rather than ‘‘filiform’’ ; the pseu- 
dobulbs are about 4 em. high, as contrasted with 2—-2.7 
em. high; the leaves, which are acute and not ‘‘acumi- 
nate,’’ range from 18 to 80 cm. long, instead of **15—20 
em.,” and reach a width of 6.6 em., as contrasted with 
a maximum width of ‘‘6 em.’’; the petiole is elongate, 
ranging from 8 to 18 cm. long, instead of ‘‘38—3.5 cm.””; 
the inflorescence reaches about 55 em. in length, con-
