PROMENAEA STAPELOIDES. Native of Brazil. 
Another small growing species, with small, compressed pseudobulbs which have a 
prominent rib in the centre of each flattened side, and are topped with two or 
three broadly lanceolate, acute, glossy-green, striated leaves from 3 to 4 inches 
in length and somewhat grassy in texture. The short scape grows more or less 
horizontally from the base of the matured pseudobulb, and is generally one- 
flowered, but occasionally has two flowers, each about 14 inches across, with 
ovate, spreading sepals and petals, greenish-yellow with crosswise purple-brown 
bands. Lip, three-lobed, has an ovate middle lobe, so deeply purple as to seem 
almost black, paling slightly towards the margin, and streaked with yellowish- 
green. Lateral lobes are greenish-yellow. Flowers in Summer and lasts well. 
(Syn. Zygopetalum stapeloides.) 
PROMENAEA XANTHINA. Native of Brazil. 
A pretty, small growing species, with ovoid, compressed pseudobulbs, acutely 
edged, about an inch in height and furnished with from one to three oval, oblong 
leaves, 2 to 34 inches long. The scape bears one flower (sometimes two), about 2 
inches across, with oblong, spreading, rather acute sepals and petals of bright 
citron-yellow, the three-lobed lip being yellow with bright red spots. Column 
also yellow, spotted with red.
