ORCHIDACE^ 



H. troyana a variety. The Mexican plant has inflated spurs, and slightly 

 larger flowers than the type of H. Sanbornii. In the note which 

 accompanies the description of H. troyana, H. Sanbornii is re- 

 ferred to as a larger, coarser-growing plant. This statement needs 

 modification, as H. Sanbornii varies to an extraordinary degree 

 in its dimensions, ranging in height from 3 to 8 dm., with leaves 

 from 8 to 18 cm. long, exclusive of the uppermost ones, which 

 pass gradually into the bracts that subtend the raceme. 



In my opinion H. troyana is very near H. eustachya, and is 

 probably the same species.

1 There is another edition of this work, bearing the date 1853 on the title-page of the volume 

 in which H. replicata is described. Richard's Flora Cubana composes volumes 10 and 1 1 of 

 the Historia Fisica, Politica y Natural de La Isla de Cuba, by D, Ramon de la Sagra. 

 These volumes are usually cited as 1 and -2. The end of volume 10 (p. 319) closes with "fin 

 del tomo primaro." H. replicata is described in volume 11 of the complete work.
