NEW OR NOTEWORTHY ORCHIDS 
glandulose within below the middle, margin conspicuously 
glandular-ciliate with the glands retrorse. Labellum 3 mm. 
long, 1 mm. wide, oblong, gradually narrowed to the sub¬ 
acute apex, 3-nerved, glandulose on the upper surface, with 
the margins closely ciliate-glandulose, the glands more or 
less retrorse. Column densely glandular, the dorsal and 
lateral glandular hairs being much reduced. 
Telipogon Standlegi is closely related to T. Lankesteri 
Ames, from which it differs most strikingly in having the 
glandular hairs of the column much abbreviated and in 
being a dwarf plant with foliage present at flowering time. 
The collector described the flowers as yellow. In dried 
specimens the flowers are yellow with a purplish or crimson 
tinged center, the lower half of the petals and labellum being 
more deeply colored than the upper half; the column is deep 
purple. 
The petals appear to be 1-nerved, but on close scrutiny 
two supplementary nerves may be detected. [Fig. 9: 1, 
labellum spread out X 8. 2, flower with the perianth seg¬
