The description of the Jamaican Cymbidium murica- 
tum of Swartz and the diagnosis of Dichaea muricata by 
Fawcett and Rendle state that the flowers are glabrous 
or else make no mention to the contrary. However, ina 
very large series of specimens which I take to be un- 
doubtedly referable to this species, the sepals are usually 
more or less verrucose on the dorsal surface but occasion- 
ally appear to be smooth. This character, therefore, seems 
to be variable or evanescent, and not to be of diagnostic 
weight.
