trasted with ‘‘up to 30 em.”’; and the raceme is 19- to 
22-flowered, instead of ‘‘8- to 12-flowered.”’ 
In another collection (Santander der Sur, Colombia, 
Lawrance 850) the vegetative portions are lacking, but 
the flowers are slightly smaller than typical, with nar- 
rower segments, rhombic-lanceolate petals and narrower 
lip with more cuneate claw.

Except for the concept Lycaste Filomenoi, reductions 
to synonymy have already been made. 
Lycaste Filomenoi, which was described only from a 
flowering scape, appears to differ from the variable L. 
macrophylla only in having slightly smaller flowers with 
petals noticeably broader than the sepals. This character, 
while apparently not mentioned for 1. macrophylla, is 
indicated in some of its illustrations and is seen in some 
specimens referred to L. plana. 
This specics has been recorded widely in northern 
South America—Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia and es- 
pecially Peru—and locally in Central America.
