ORCHIDACEiE 



H. clypeata equal in length. Dr. Kranzlin refers H. jaliscana Wats, and 

 H. guadalajarana Wats, to H. clypeata. It is highly probable 

 that he would have refrained from doing so had he studied the 

 type specimens of H. jaliscana and H. guadalajarana. Dr. 

 Kranzlin also refers H.flexuosa Lindl. to H. clypeata. His rea- 

 sons for adopting this course are not given in detail.
