ORCHIDACEM 39 



in the United States in 1904, near Naples, on the west coast of 

 Florida, where it was found growing on a large Sweetbay tree in 

 an exposed situation. Only ten plants were collected, all of them 

 in fruit. Later in the same year, another station was found near 

 Everglade, but the species is rare in Florida. It grows on various 

 kinds of trees, often concealed by other epiphytes.
