COELIA 
(C. triptera) 
Column-foot lacking or nearly 
so. 
Column very short and broad. 
Lateral sepals not forming a 
mentum. 
Lateral sepals not adnate to the 
column nor to the obscure col- 
umn foot. 
Lip not deflexed, saccate nor 
otherwise complicated at the 
apex of the claw. 
BOTHRIOCHILUS 
( B. macrostachyus, B. bellus and 
B. guatemalensis ) 
Column-foot subequal to the col- 
umn in length. 
Column long and slender. 
Lateral sepals forming a dis- 
tinct mentum. 
Lateral sepals adnate to the 
column-foot. 
Lip either sharply deflexed or 
saceate (one species with a short 
didymous sac) at the apex of the 
claw. 
These considerations seem to indicate that two genera 
are present. For those species which are generically dis- 
tinct from the type species of Coela, I reinstate the genus 
Bothriochilus Wemaire which contains the following 
species. 
1. Bothriochilus bellus Lemaire in Illustr. Hort. 3 
(1856) Mise. p. 80. 
Bifrenaria bella Lemaire in Jard. Fleuriste 8 (1853)

Coelia bella Reichenbach filius in Walpers Ann. 6

Coelia picta Bateman ex Hooker in Bot. Mag. 108 
(1882) sub t. 6628, nomen. 
The largest-flowered species of the genus. Known 
from Guatemala and Honduras. 
2. Bothriochilus guatemalensis (Peich).f.) L. 
O. Williams comb. nov.
