Nanodes (a pigmy: the plants are small). Orchidaceae. Two or 3 epiphytic S. American orchids now referred to Epidendrum. In that genus it forms a section or subgenus, with lip adnate to column, and 4 pollen- masses on ovate glands. E. Medusae, Pfitz. (Nanodes Medusae, Reichb. f.), from the Andes, is a very singular fleshy-stemmed pendent orchid with distichous imbricated twisted glaucous lvs., and 2 or more large terminal fls. with greenish sepals and petals shaded dark brown, and a fringed dark purple lip: pseudobulb about 1 ft. long. B.M. 5723, where Hooker remarks: "Amongst the many bizarre fls. which Orchideae present, few are more singular than this Nanodes, to which Mr. Reichenbach has most felicitously given the name of Medusae. Altogether the flattened, stout culms, and the extraordinary appearance and lurid purple of the flower give it a most sinister appearance, and, for an orchid, a most unusual one." E. Mathewsii, Reichb. f. (Nanodes Malhewsii, Rolfe). Rhizome creeping, many-rooted : st. nearly erect: lvs. linear, acute, canaliculate at base, distichous: fl. single, large; sepals lance-acuminate; petals linear, acute; lip emarginate. Peru.
