60. EPIDENDRUM lamellatum. 
Westcott mss. 
E. lamellatum ; (§ Euepidendrum) caule erecto articulato ; foliis lanceolatis 
emarginatis glabris subcarnosis, oorymbo sessili paucifioro, sepalis lan- 
ceolatis acutis, petalis obovato-lanceolatis, columna apice alata, labello 
obovato integerrimo vel obscure emarginato basi lamellato. 
“ Stem about a foot high, articulated, and much resem- 
bling that of Dendrobium. The sepals and the petals are of 
a delicate pink colour. The column is very short, not more 
than two lines long, and having appendages at the apex as 
long as the column. The labellum is united to the column 
the whole length, and is entirely undivided or very slightly 
notched at the end. The appendages at the apex of the 
column are of a darker pink colour, and the labellum is still 
darker and more brilliant, having the disc covered with a row 
of scaly yellowish plates.” 
For the above memorandum we are indebted to Mr. West- 
cott, who first named the plant in Mr. Barker’s collection, 
where its origin was unknown. It has been subsequently 
communicated by Sir Charles Lemon, to whom it had been 
sent from Honduras. It is a pretty species, with flowers 
about the size of E. Schomburgkii.
