NEW OR NOTEWORTHY ORCHIDS 
Plant epiphytic, caespitose, up to 18.5 cm. high. Roots 
fibrous, flexuous, glabrous. Stems entirely concealed by the 
imbricating leaves. Leaves equitant, distichous, lanceolate- 
triangular, up to 2.2 cm. long (measuring the lower margin) 
and 6.5 mm. wide (measuring at right angles across the base), 
abruptly and obliquely acute or obtuse. Inflorescence sol¬ 
itary, from one of the upper leaf-axils, loosely few-flowered, 
nodding. Floral bracts conspicuous, suborbicular-cordate, 
nervose, apparently yellow. Lateral sepals ovate, oblique, 
5.1 mm. long, 3.1 mm. wide, acute, 5-nerved, dorsally 
thickened just below the apex. Dorsal sepal similar, elliptic, 
4.8 mm. long, about 2.8 mm. wide, 5-nerved, margins in¬ 
volute, probably concave in nature. Petals ovate-oblong, 
5.2 mm. long, 2.9 mm. wide, round-obtuse, somewhat ob¬ 
lique. Labellum obovate-oblong, about 7 mm. long, 4 mm. 
wide above the middle, obliquely bilobed at the apex, mar¬ 
gins more or less irregular. Disc with a basal subquadrate 
bilobed excavated callus, the center traversed by 3 lines of 
irregular fleshy teeth or dentate keels. Column short, stout, 
ending in a triangular obtuse wing on each side. 
Lockhartia Integra was described from a single collection 
of two dried plants. It is similar to L. micrantha Reichb. f., 
but differs from that species in the simple lip, a character 
which suggests the specific name.

Tilaran, Paul C. Standley & Juvenal Valerio 44675, January 13, 
1926. About 750 meters altitude. “On tree; flowers yellow; lip

Repert. 10 (1911) 253. C. quadricornu Krdnzl. in Das 
Pflanzenr. IV, 50, pt. 2 (1922) 314, fig. 27 F a-c. 
Kranzlin (1. c. 315) is of the opinion that C. guaiemalen- 
must be excluded from the genus because it has pseudo- 
bulbs. Accordingly he makes no comparison between this 
species and any other. But the type description of C. 
^^adricornu, as well as a photograph of the type specimen, 
show that this plant has pseudobulbs also!
