ORCHIDACEiE 



H.felipenm 6.5 mm. longa, 1.5 mm. lata, acuta. Calcar ± 1 cm. longum, ad 

 apicem inflatum. Processus stigmatis prominentis. 



Pringle's no. 4806 collected in the state of Oaxaca resembles 

 H. suhauriculata so closely that it can be separated with cer- 

 tainty from it only by means of the bifid petals and by the 

 lateral divisions of the labellum which are directed forward and 

 not reflexed. Habitally it is almost a counterpart of H. suhauri- 

 culata, and if it were not for several well marked differences in 

 the flowers the two could be distinguished from one another only 

 with extreme difficulty. The nearest affinity oi H.felipensis is 

 H. fiexuosa, which is larger in all its parts and taller. Pringle's 

 no. 4806, which constitutes the type, was originally distributed 

 as H. Jlexuosa, and in Kranzlin's Orchidacearum Genera et 

 Species is referred to the synonymy of H. clypeata^ with which 

 it has very little in common. (Plate 77.)
