trees in the temperate parts of the province of Tumbez, near 
Zaruma, in Peru, and a village called Catacocha; it was also 
found cultivated in the gardens of Loxa, at an elevation of 
between 6 and 7000 feet above tbe sea. Its Spanish name is 
said to be Periquito. 
Upon comparing our plant with the original figure of 
Anguloa in the Flora Peruviana it is obvious that it cannot 
be referred to that little known genus, one of tbe most dis- 
tinctive characters of which is having what Ruiz and Pavon 
call a chrysalis-shaped lip (that is, we presume, a lip rolled 
up in the form of a chrysalis ) seated on a long stalk; by which 
circumstance in particular it is distinguished from Maxillaria. 
Thus it appears that neither of Humboldt’s Anguloas 
belong to. the genus ; A. superba being this Pensteria 
Humholdti, and A. grandijlora bring Stanhopea insignis. 
With respect to Poppig’s Anguloa squalida, the figures of 
this author are so bad that it is difficult to say what it is ; it 
may really be an Anguloa.
