A NOTE CONCERNING THE ORCHIDS 
DESCRIBED BY KRANZLIN, MAINLY 
FROM THE LIEBMANN MEXICAN 
COLLECTION 
BY 
Louis O. Williams 
Professor O. Hagerup of the Universitetets botan- 
iske Museum in Copenhagen has been kind enough to 
send for study all of the types of the species described 
by Kranzlin in Saertyrk af Vidensk. Medd. fra Dansk 
naturh. Foren. 71 (1920) 169-180. 
Most of the specimens are in liquid and often consist 
of the flowers only, hence it is not possible, in all cases, 
to be sure what the plants are but the determinations 
for most of them can be made with reasonable assurance. 
The order followed is that of Kranzlin, giving first, 
in capitals, the name which he used. The following name 
(if it differs from that used by Kranzlin), in bold face, 
is the name which seems to be correct. 
Pleurothallis MANDiBULARis Kranzlin, p. 169. 
This is probably a synonym of Pleurothallis vittata 
Lindley of Mexico. 
Pleurothallis Liebmanniana Kranzlin , p. 170, 
seems to be a good species. The type consists of two 
sheets of material. 
Although Kranzlin says that the specimens are “ohne 
genaueren Standort (Liebmann, ohne n.!)” the data on 
the sheets are ‘ ‘parasitica in arboribus vetustis sylvarum 
inter Lobani [?] et Petlapa, 6/1842”. There are two 
numbers available. The original (field?) number is 339- 
340 and the Plantae Mexicanae Liebmann. number is 
7309.
