This species of Epidendrum is an old inhabitant of the hot-house, and much esteemed for the fra- 

 grance of its flowers, and the only one at present known to us (the angustifolium excepted) with a 

 single leaf. It is enumerated in the Species Plantarum of Willdenow, as described by Swartz ; but 

 we do not find that any figure of it has before been published.
