sagtttifera, renaming the latter Notylia multiflora. In 1854 Reichen- 
bach published a Notylia pentachne which had been collected by a 
Mr. Keferman at Chagres, Panama; this plant proves to be the same 
as that collected by Humboldt and Bonpland. The plant from 
which our illustration was prepared was collected by A. J. Corbett 
at Limon, Panama, in 1914; it flowered for the first time in the con- 
servatories of the New York Botanical Garden about the middle 
of December of that year. 
Notylia is distributed from southern Mexico to Bolivia and 
south-central Brazil, with a few in the West Indies. ‘There have 
been about forty species described, but perhaps not all of these 
will prove valid. Few of them are in cultivation. Notylia sagit- 
tifera is apparently an inhabitant of the low-lying hot regions near 
the coast, and should be grown in the tropical orchid house.
