Dichaea Bradeorum Schlechter in Fedde Repert. 
Beihefte 19 (1928) 154. 
The description of Dichaea Bradeorum together with 
a habit drawing and floral analysis of that concept made 
at Berlin show that it is referable to D. Morrisu of which 
I have seen the co-type (Hardware Gap, Jamaica, G. /. 
Nichols). 
Dichaea Bradeorum, to be sure, is said to possess 
smooth sepals, whereas those of D. Morrisi are minutely 
but clearly ciliolate under the hand lens. The outline and 
proportions of the lip appear to be very similar in both 
concepts. Asa matter of fact, the sepals and petals of 
D. Morristi seem to be rather more acuminate than those 
illustrated in Fl. Jam. t. 80 and thus to approximate 
those of D. Bradeorum. 
In the Costa Rican specimens examined (in all of 
which the sepals are more or less ciliolate), there appears 
to be considerable variation in the degree of acumination 
of the parts of the perianth as well as in the prominence 
of the lateral lobules or auricles of the lip. The latter vary 
from elongate faleately triangular-linear lobes to short 
bluntly triangular projections.
