The subdivision of this great group was based by Lindley* solely on characters derived from the anther, the pollen or pollen- distributing apparatus. He recognised six tribes as follows: A. Pollen masses icaxy. a. Xo caudicle or separable stigmatic gland ... 1. Malaxideae. h. A distinct caudicle but no separable gland ... 2. Epidendreae. c. A distinct caudicle (or stipes) and a separable gland ... ... ... ... ... ... 3. Vandeae. B. Pollen powdery, gramdar^ or sectile. a. Anther terminal, erect ... ... ... ... 4. Ophrydeae. b.
