70 GLEANINGS AND ORIGINAL MEMORANDA. 
In the great genus Maxillaria, as now limited, the majority of the species (1. § AcAULES) are stemless, and produce 
one or two flowers only at the end of the scape, others (2. § RAcEMOSE) are also stemless, but form their flowers in 
many-flowered racemes, while the remainder (3. 5 CauLEscENTES) have branching stems with pseudobulbs, and leaves 
clustered upon them at short intervals. It is to the second of these sections re the plant before us belongs, together 
with about a score other species, of which the n irit is a brief enumeratio
