A Columbian plant, originally discovered by the late Mr. Hart- 
weg at Popayan! Merida 5000’, Linden, 549! Funck and Schlim,

Sept. Funck and Schlim, 1026. It has recently been largely intro- 
duced by Messrs. Linden, Veitch, and Low. It came also from 
Huancabamba, sent by Mr. Wallis to Mr. Linden. 
The Pilumna fragrans, Hook. Bot. Mag. 5035, is not this, but 
the Trichopilia Wageneri, Rchb. fil. 
Very near to 7’. nobilis, Rehb. f., from Jaji. This appears to be

appears by no means distinct from the old plant. 
Sheaths under the pseudobulb distichous, scariose, straw- 
coloured, with many brown small dots. Pseudobulbs close
