Panama: Cocié, hills north of El Valle de Antén, alt. 800-1000 m., 
epiphytic, sepals and petals greenish white, labellum marked with 
maroon, Noy. 21, 1940, P. H. Allen 2258 (Herb. Ames). 
Since Hexadesmia and Scaphyglottis are now consid- 
ered to be congeneric (Schweinfurth in Bot. Mus. Leafl. 
Harvard Univ. 10 (1941) 27), the following new combina- 
tions are necessary for the following Guatemalan species. 
Scaphyglottis confusa (Sch/tr.) Ames & Correll 
comb. nov. 
Hexadesmia confusa Schlechter in Fedde Repert. 10 
(1912) 361. 
Pachystele confusa Schlechter in Fedde Repert. Beih. 
19 (1923) 114. 
Scaphyglottis confusa is distinguished from S. livida 
(Lind].) Schltr. and from S$. Jiminezii Schitr., two closely 
allied species, not only by its crenulate lip-margin but also 
by the pedicellate ovaries which are always concealed by 
the closely imbricated floral bracts. The flower, itself, is 
often partially concealed by the subtending bracts. 
Uncommon in Mexico; rather common in Guatemala 
and Honduras.
