extending to Huayabal, Chanchamayo and Siusa; that it flowers in August and 
September, and that it is called « Flor del Espiritu Santo ». Nothing further seems 
to have been known about it until April 1844, when it flowered in the collection 
of Mr Barker of Birmingham, from specimens believed to have been received from 
M. Linven’s Columbian collections. There is no wild specimen in D' Linpey’s 
Herbarium from this source, for the one cited by him in the Orchidaceae Lindenianae 
is certainly A. Clowesii, Lint. The two are readily distinguishable in the dried 
State, and there is the evidence written on the ticket by M. Linpen himself 
— « Pétales d’un jaune sale, labelle blanchatre » — which just describes
