Nota. Cur Reichenbachius 1. s. c. banc speciein cum E. bractcscente coniuiixeril, equidem 

 non intellego. Omissis cliaracteribus de magnitudino omnium partium sumptis, quos negligere 

 minime fas est, babemus flores strictos, non resujjinatos, dum illi E. bractescentis semper in 

 pedicellis tenuioribus resupinati sunt. Etiam fabrica labelli cum illa E. bractescentis minime 

 congruit. — Planta rarior esse videtur nequc nuperrime collecta. Quae dicit cl. 0. Arnes in
