246 . THE ORCHID REVIEW. [AuGus?, 1903. 
sub. t. 68) 1s a neat little Peruvian species, collected by Matthews, bearing 
numerous distichous racemes of small flowers, the bracts and sepals being 
ciliate, the spur very short, and the leaves under an inch long. 
C. HISPIDULUM (Aeranthus hispidulus, Rchb. f. in Linnea, xli, p. 31) 
was collected at Santa Martha, in Colombia, but by whom is not stated. 
It is a very small species, having few-flowered racemes, ciliate bracts, and 
a three-lobed lip, with a saccate spur. 
Two or three others of this group with flat oblong leaves have been 
described, but the materials are not sufficient to form a judgment upon. 
The next three species are remarkable for having narrow terete leaves, giving 
them a very distinct appearance. ° 
C. ORNITHORRHYNCHUM (Angrecum ornithorrhynchum, Lindl. Bot. Reg., 
1840, sub. t. 68) was collected in the province of Santa Catherina, South 
Brazil, by Tweedie, and has short racemes of flowers with a nearly entire 
lip and a clavate spur. 
C. PARAHYBUNENSE (Aeranthus parahybunensis, Rade. Gen. et Sp. Orch. 
uov., li, p. 245) has more slender leaves, and smaller flowers, with a three- 
abot lip and a clavate spur. It was collected at the river Parabyba, in the 
province of Minas Geraes, by Rodrigues, and also on the Organ Mountains, 
by Miers. 
C. Wawra (Aeranthus Wawre, Rchb. f. ex G. Beck. Itin. Princ. Sax- 
Coburg, ii, 1888, p. 156, t. 17, fig. B) is a small caulescent Braziliam 
species, having short leaves, few-flowered racemes, and a three-lobed lip, 
with a short saccate spur. 
There now remains a remarkable leafless group, recalling the leafless 
species of Angreecum, inasmuch as the nutrition of the plant is carried on 
by the numerous chlorophyll-bearing roots. The two first named species 
are caulescent, and the others practically stemless. 
C. SELLowm (Angraecum Sellowii, Rchb. f. in Linnea, xxii, p. 857) was 
collected in Brazil, by Sellow, and has elongated stems, bearing an 
elongated root from each node, and short racemes, those that I have seem 
being in fruit only. 
C. Pappici (Angraecum Poeppigii, Rchb. f. in Linnea, xxii, p. 848) is @ 
second caulescent leafless species, collected by Péppig, in Cuba, in 1824. 
C. PACHYRRHIZUM (Aeranthus pachyrrhizus, Rchb. f. in Flora, 18657 
P- 279) is an acaulescent Cuban species, remarkable for its thick fleshy 
roots, and short racemes of flowers, with distichous bracts. A spathaceus, 
Griseb (Cat. Pl. Cub., p. 264) is identical. It is also known from Jamaica 
and Guiana. 
C. TENUE (Angreecum tenue, Lindl. Bot. Reg., 1840, sub. t. 68), is @ 
remarkable little acaulescent species, bearing slender racemes from the 
centre of a tuft of roots, and the flowers distichously arranged, witha saccate
