apex, very obscurely trilobed above the middle, about 
3.8 mm. long and 2 mm. across the widest part, pro- 
duced at base into a pair of narrow lightly sigmoid spurs 
which are connate below, terminate in a more or less 
dilated obtuse apex and are about 2.5 mm. long; disc 
adorned through the lower half with a pair of semiobo- 
vate flat lamellae. Column stout, clavate, about 3.7 mm. 
long, terminating in a prominent ovate concave clinan- 
drium. Anther semiovoid, 1-celled. Pollinia two, pyri- 
form. Stipe elongate, cuneate-spatulate. 
This species appears to be unique in the genus in hav- 
ing paniculate inflorescences. It is further distinguished 
from N. peruviana Schltr. by the stout truncate spur.

On the basis of a photograph of the type collection 
and a recently examined plant which is surely referable 
to this concept, several amplifications and corrections 
are necessary. 
The leaves are not equitant as described, and they vary 
from linear to oblong-lanceolate with a width sometimes 
reaching 8 mm., instead of 4 mm. as described. ‘The 
lamina formed by the lateral sepals is minutely biden- 
tate, rather than subacute. The sac formed by the basal 
prolongation of the lateral sepals is only about 2.8 mm. 
(instead of 4mm.) long, and it is abruptly truncate and 
scarcely retuse, rather than bifid as described. The ap- 
pendages extending from the base of the lip are about 2 
mm. (instead of 1.5 mm.) long, and the column is 8-8.8 
mm. (rather than 4 mm.) long.
