dolichophylla Schltr. (1912). 
In referring Ornithidium dolichophyllum to the genus 
Maxillaria, a new epithet is required owing to the pre- 
vious appearance of the combination Maaillaria dolicho- 
phylla. 
In examining a flower from the type number, certain 
discrepancies from the description and from the analysis 
appear. The sepals are not oblong-ligulate as described 
and figured, but elliptic-lanceolate; and the petals are 
not subobtuse, but acute.

In comparing isotype specimens of Mawillaria calan- 
tha with the description and with the analytical figure 
of the flower, certain additions and corrections are found 
to be necessary. 
The leaf, which is not mentioned in the description, 
consists of a petioled blade; the lamina is elliptic-oblong 
or narrowly elliptic, subacute to broadly obtuse, thickly 
coriaceous and up to 26 cm. long and 6.8 em. wide; the 
petiole is more or less stout, channelled, up to 8.5 cm. 
long. The petals are linear-lanceolate and lack the con- 
striction below the middle which is shown in the draw- 
ing. The lip has an ovate or triangular-ovate terminal 
lobe rather than a suborbicular lobe as shown in the draw- 
ing and the disc bears a triangular callus (neither de- 
scribed nor shown).
