The Peruvian Notylia moyobambae, which was de- 
scribed from the inflorescences only, appears to differ 
from the Bolivian N. Buchtieni only in the following par- 
ticulars. It has decurved (not strict) inflorescences with 
much shorter peduncles and racemes, slightly larger flow- 
ers (sepals 7 mm. long as contrasted with 5.5 mm. long), 
sharper apices to the sepals and petals, and a rounded 
instead of cordate-auriculate base to the lamina of the lip. 
Several Peruvian specimens from the general region 
where N. moyobambae was collected, however, are surely 
referable to MN. Buchtienu. 'Two of these collections have 
suberect inflorescences approaching those of N. moyo- 
bambae; the racemes of one collection vary from 6.4 ¢m. 
long (shorter than the maximum of 10 cm. cited for N. 
moyobambae) to about 19 em. long (nearly equaling the 
minimum of 22 cm. of N. Buchtienii). In general, the 
size of the flowers coincides well with that of NM. Buch- 
tien, but one collection shows flowers almost as large as 
those of N. moyobambae. All of these Peruvian speci- 
mens have the base of the lip more or less cordate-auricu- 
late as in N. Buchtieni. This character is variable in the 
different collections and appears to vary even in flowers 
of the same number from being cordate to being cuneate- 
rounded.
