resents the widely distributed Middle American species 
of Malaxis which has borne the several names cited above, 
as discussed in Bot. Mus. Leafl. Harv. Univ. 8 (1935)

Stelis carnosa was cited from Prov. Jaen de Braca- 
moros near Sondorillo and Mandor Rock, at about 6000 
feet altitude, Bonpland s.n. As Microstylis calycina, it 
was cited from Peru (Pavon) by Ridley (l.c.) Further- 
more, it was listed from the Department of Amazonas 
(Peru) by Schlechter in Fedde Repert. Beihefte 9 (1921) 
135.

This Peruvian species should be referred to the earlier 
genus Malaxis. 
It is apparently widely distributed in Peru, being 
found in the departments of Ayacucho, Cuzco, Hudnuco 
and Junin.

After a careful comparison of the original descriptions 
of these concepts, supplemented by an excellent photo- 
graph of the type of L. elegantula and a floral analysis 
of L. Millet made under the direction of Dr. Schlechter, 
it is certain that they are conspecific. Indeed, the only 
significant difference is that the leaves of L. Millei from 
Ecuador are described as broadly elliptic, while those of 
the Peruvian ZL. elegantula are broadly ovate or triangu- 
lar-ovate and attain a slightly greater width.
