The Genus Scaphosepalum. — The plants 
constituting this genus were formerly classed 
under Masdevallia, but, on account of the 
structure of the flowers and the mode of 
inflorescence, are now considered quite dis- 
tinct. The flowers are small, but a prac- 
tically indefinite succession is maintained 
by prolongations of the slender scapes. The 
flowers resemble those of Masdevallias in 
many particulars, but the partially connate 
lower sepals and small lip are uppermost, 
and the free portions of those sepals bear a 
thickened plate. The species are natives 
of Costa Rica and Colombia, and may be 
successfully grown in a cool-house.
