It does not seem wise, therefore, to recognize N. mo- 
yobambae as separable from N. Buchtienii. 
Notylia carnosiflora C. Schweinfurth sp. nov. 
Herba parva. Pseudobulbi breves, complanato-cylin- 
dracei, unifoliati, vaginis pluribus distichis valde imbri- 
catis vestiti. Folia elliptico-oblonga, apice rotundata, 
basi leviter cuneata, valde coriacea. Inflorescentia later- 
alis, basalis, arcuato-recurva, brevis; racemus subdense 
pluriflorus. Flores reflexi, cum segmentis carnosis paten- 
tibus. Sepalum dorsale valde fornicatum et concavum, 
oblongum, acutum. Sepala lateralia in laminam elliptico- 
oblongam tubulari-concavam apice minutissime bidenta- 
tam connata. Petala oblique elliptico-lanceolata vel ob- 
longo-oblanceolata, falecato-incurva. Labellum_ breviter 
unguiculatum, quam petala multo brevius; lamina tri- 
angulari-ovata, acuta vel acuminata, basi callosa. Col- 
umna brevis, crassa. 
Plant small. Roots fibrous, glabrous. Rhizome appar- 
ently abbreviated. Pseudobulb short, complanate-cylin- 
dric, unifoliate, rugose-striate in the dried specimen, 
about 1 cm. long, invested and concealed by several dis- 
tichous closely imbricating sheaths of which the upper 
pair is leaf-bearing. Leaves elliptic-oblong, rounded at 
the apex, shortly cuneate-narrowed below with a com- 
plicate base, 4.6-6.2 cm. long, 1.3-1.9 cm. wide, thickly 
coriaceous. Inflorescence lateral, basal, arcuate-recurved ; 
peduncle about 3.5 cm. long, with few sheaths which are 
remote above; raceme about 3 cm. long (apparently ab- 
normally shortened in our specimen), subdensely several- 
flowered, with small reflexed bracts. Flowers small, re- 
flexed, with spreading fleshy segments. Dorsal sepal 
strongly fornicate and concave, oblong, acute, about 7.5 
mm. or less long in natural position, about 2.6 mm. wide 
when expanded. Lateral sepals connate into an elliptic-
