member of the alliance, is a Guatemalan species clearly dis¬ 
tinguished from E. fundi by its very dissimilar labellum, 
broader leaves, and larger flowers. 
Costa Rica, Southern slope of Volcan de Turrialba, 
near the Finca del Volcan de Turrialba, Paul C. Standley 
35080, February 22, 1924. About 2000-2400 meters alti¬ 
tude. On tree. (Type in Herb. Ames No. 29147.); Sfand/ey 
35119, from the same locality, is undoubtedly the same 
species. 
Epidendrum glandulosum Ames Sched. Orch. 7 
(1924) 5, t. 20. 
This species, which was discovered by C. W. Powell in 
Panama in 1923 on a trail near Colon, has recently been re¬ 
ceived from C. H. Lankester, who collected specimens in 
Costa Rica. The extension of range is remarkable, as the 
orchids of the Canal Zone rarely occur in Costa Rica unless 
they are representatives of common species which have the 
capacity to adjust themselves to varied conditions and are 
of wide distribution. 
The leaves of this species are semi-terete in specimens 
preserved in alcohol. While the type was characterized by a 
few-flowered raceme, additional material received from Mr. 
Powell exhibits plants which have six or more flowers in 
loose racemes.

Schleehter, in the notes accompanying the original des¬ 
cription oi Epidendrum poaeforme, compares this species with 
the West Indian E. miserrimum Reichb. f. The differences 
between Costa Rican specimens referable to E. poaeforme
