ovary about 3.5 cm. long, with the sepals connivent. Ovary 
minutely glandulose, about 1.5 cm. long. Lateral sepals 22 
mm. long (including the blunt mentum), narrowly triangu¬ 
lar, free portion about 3 mm. wide below the middle, acute, 
distinctly glandulose at base and apex on the exterior sur¬ 
face. Dorsal sepal 21 mm. long, 3.5 mm. w'ide above the 
middle, narrowly oblong-lanceolate, acute, strongly concave 
at the base, lightly adherent to the petals, externally incon¬ 
spicuously glandulose. Petals about 16 mm. long, 2 mm. 
wide above the middle, narrowly oblanceolate, tapering to 
the base, obtuse or subacute, minutely glandulose at the 
apex. Labellum 18 mm. long, 5 mm. wide near the middle, 
narrowed toward both ends, 3 mm. wide below the tip, 4 
mm. wide near the base, sparsely glandulose on the outer 
surface, shortly unguiculate, cordate at base with the blunt 
auricles 1.5 mm. wide, thickened on the outer half. Disc 
minutely glandulose below the middle. Column about 14 
mm. long, characteristic of the genus, densely and conspic¬ 
uously glandulose on the inner surface. 
In dried specimens several transverse folds occur on the 
lower part of the lip. Stenorrhynchus navarrensis is allied to 
S. bracteosus Ames & Schweinf., but is readily distinguish¬ 
able from it by means of the floral bracts which do not ex¬ 
ceed the flowers, by the nearly glabrous ovary, and by the 
different auricles of the labellum. [Fig. 3: 6, labellum X

moved, slightly over natural size. 8, column and anther 
nearly twice enlarged.]
