Cheshunt, was awarded a Botanical Certificate by the Orchid Committee of 
the R. H. S. on September roth, under the name of E. purum (Gard. Chron.,

distinguished, as E. purum, Lindl., has the pedicel and ovary glabrous, 
while in E. lanipes, Lindl., these organs are more or less copiously covered 
with a cottony or woolly tomentum. E. lanipes was described by Lindley, 
in 1853 (Fol. Orch., Epidendr., p- 91), from dried specimens collected by 
Matthews at Chachapoya, in Peru, the author remarking :—‘‘ Flowers 
apparently yellow, in a panicle nine inches long, and as much broad. The 
woolly ovary is quite peculiar.” It was afterwards collected on old trees at 
“ Chailla,” by Pearce, who noted the flower as “white.” It is a little 
uncertain when it was first introduced to cultivation, but it flowered with 
Messrs. B. S. Williams & Son, Upper Holloway, in February, 1890, with 
Messrs. Linden, of Brussels, in the following August, and with Messrs.
