Miltonia Clowes ii Lindl, 

 In the floral axis and in the perianth of this species, in each of the 

 .epidermal cells, and in those of the parenchymaj there is to be foiond an 

 elaioplast iaamersed in the cytoplasm situated generally near the cell nucleus. 

 These elaioplasts resemble in physical properties and in microchemical 

 reactions those described above. 



Laelia anceps Lindl» 

 If one examines the epidermis of the floral axis of this species one 

 will find in each cell an elaioplast in the form of a single sphere extremely 

 refractile and presenting in its complete development a reaction identical 

 to the reacfions of the preceding species. ' 



Cattleya Harrisoniae Paxt. 

 The elaioplasts are found in this species iH the epidennis of the leaves 

 during process ,of growth. In the adult stage they appear in groups of tiny 

 Spheres extremely refractile, to light. Such groups have the form of bunches 

 of grapes and are relatively smaller, 



Lycaste aromatica Lindl,, L, Skinner i Lindl, 

 If one examines the leaves of the psrigonium of this species one will 

 find in each cell of the epidormis an elaioplast immersed in the cytoplasm 

 or close to the cell nucleus or a little distance from the latter. Such 

 elaioplasts in the adult stage are of irregular form, granular structure, and 

 of a size slightly inferior to that of the nucleus. They show all the 

 reactions peculiar to proteinaceous and oleose substances.
