leaves enfiform, fomewhat flefhy ; fcape few-flowered. 
Root fibrous ; plant little more than an inch high. Ob¬ 
served in Surinam by Dahlberg. 
27. Epidendrum enlifolium, or fword-leaved epiden¬ 
drum: flem round, even; leaves enfiform; petals lan¬ 
ceolate ; lip lanceolate, recurved, dotted. The flowers

Simple; leaves linear, acute ; flowers white ; common on 
walls and in hedges in Japan ; parafitical. Thunberg, in 
Iris travels through Japan, obferved it at Mifima, tied up 
in bundles, and hung out before a houfe. It can live Se¬ 
veral years without water or other nourifliment, and yet 
grow and flower all the while.

tinico. Cultivated at Kew in 1794.

Simple; leaves oval; peduncle terminating, elongated, 
Scaly ; lip of the nedtary five-lobed, the middle lobe 
.minute. This approaches to E. fecundum ; from which 
it differs in having a column (horterthan the petals, capi¬ 
tate and purplifh or brownifn-green flowers, inftead of

nearly eredt, bearing one flower, rarely two, round, green, 
Smooth; clothed with four or more flieathing alternate 
Scales, which are ovate, concave, green with a rufty-co- 
loured powdery down. This is the mod diflinguiflied of 
the Species hitherto introduced among us, not only on ac¬ 
count of its fize, but its Singularity. Neither this nor the 
preceding occurred to Dr. Swartz, who inveftigated the 
ifland of Jamaica with no lefs ardour than accuracy. It 
is to be hoped, therefore, that more new Species may here¬ 
after be discovered there. Native of Jamaica. It flower¬ 
ed in April, 1791, in the collection of the hon. Mrs. Bar¬ 
rington ; and in Chelfea garden the year following. 
36. Epidendrum claviculatum, orclafpingepidendrum : 
Item climbing, round, branching ; leaves feflile, half-ftem- 
clafping, acute, concave, recurved, rigid. This plant 
hangs down from the branches of trees, and creeps up 
others to forty feet high. Stem jointed at the diftance of 
about five inches, and at every joint fibres three or four 
inches long, catching hold by their broad vifeid end of 
any part of a tree they come near ; it is about three quar- 
N D R U M. 863 
ters of an inch in diameter, very Smooth, round and deep 
green, Solid, juicy, and Sometimes branched : here arid

Spike terminating, nodding, lip of the neftary three-lobed, 
the middle lobe three-toothed. Native of Jamaica. Cul¬

ferrulatum, or Serrated epidendrum: (terns aggregate, 
Subdiphyllous ; leaves lanceolate, keeled, Serrulate ; ra¬

teretifolium, or long-leaved epidendrum : leaves femi- 
cylindric ; (tern one flowered ; lip three-fided at the 
tip. Natives of Jamaica. Of thefe and others we lament 
that we have not descriptions from the accurate hand 
of Swartz.

round, tough, brown crooked, fix feet high, with joints 
at every eight or nine inches diftance, where are branches 
Standing (traight out, with feveral flowers on peduncles 
an inch long. Jacquia refers Sloane’s plant here describ¬ 
ed, to his altijjimum. Swartz thinks that the cartkagcnfc 
of Jacquin may poflibly be the fame with his undulatum, 
Jacquin’s plant is a native of Carthagena, in thick woods ; 
that of Swartz, Sloane, and Browne, of Jamaica.

drum : leaves lanceolate, keeled, channelled; cartila¬
