Hexisea (Greek, six equal things; because the attractive and bright-colored parts of the fls. are 6, and of equal size.) Should have been written Hexisia. Orchidacea. This includes a small epiphytic plant which was once advertised as "bearing profuse panicles of bright vermilion fls. twice a year." The genus belongs to a subtribe closely related to Epidendrum but with different pollinia. Sts. terete or angled, with usually 2 lvs. at the apex of each annual growth. New growths arise in the axils of the lvs., the entire St. being thus made up of long, fusiform, apparently superimposed pseudobulbs, with 2 lvs. at each node: lvs. few. narrow: racemes terminal, the short-peduncled furnished with overlapping, leathery scales; fls. orange or purple; anthers semi-globose; pollinia 4, in 1 series.—Four species, ranging from Mex. to Guiana.
