GENUS? 
Without doubt this genus belongs among the less 
highly evolved genera of the Sarcanthinae. ‘The flowers 
of the specimen examined are old, lack pollinia and have 
the column somewhat distorted; indeed, this specimen 
belong to a genus quite unknown to me. ‘The structure 
of the lip is somewhat similar to that of Cordiglottis J.J. 
Sm., but the plant under consideration is quite distinct 
from that genus. 
Fur: Gillespie 3307.
