Remarks
Hooker is the editor of the journal; protologue: ‘Monachanthus fimbriatus; labello longissimo fimbriato intus pubescente.’ ‘Monachanthus fimbriatus. Gardner, MSS.’ ‘… It differs from M. viridis in its slenderer and more tapering pseudo-bulbs, and the many-flowered scape, and still more remarkably in its three-lobed fringe and labellum, and the excavated column. Although I have twice met with M. viridis in blossom in the province of Rio Janeiro, yet as it always so happened that the anther and pollen-masses had disappeared, it is impossible for me to institute a comparison of the two species, so far as regards these organs.’ ‘I found it growing on dry sandy banks, beneath the shade of some low shrubs, beyond the village of Apipucas, about ten miles West from Pernambuco, in Nov., 1837’. ‘Descr. Pseudo-bulbs about six inches long …’ The text format suggests that Hooker provided the Latin diagnosis, and the English text was by Gardner
