Heterotypic synonym:
Encyclia vazzoleri Castro Neto & Vazzoler (2012: t. 250), nom. inval. Type:— BRAZIL. Bahia: São José da Vitória , no locality, October 2010, no collector (holotype: SP, not found).
Epiphytic herbs, 28.8−30.5 cm tall. Pseudobulbs conical, 5.0 × 1.1−1.4 cm. Leaves 3, oblanceolate to oblong, 24.4−25.0 × 0.8−1.1 cm, apex acute. Inflorescence a 9–12-flowered, simple to weakly compound raceme; peduncle 18.3−26.4 cm long; rachis 12.4−25 cm long. Floral pedicel 3.0 × 0.3 cm, warty; sepals brownish yellow, dorsal oval, 1.3−1.9 × 0.6−0.8 cm, laterals oval, 1.5−1.8 × 0.6−0.9 cm, pendent, margin entire, apex mucronate; petals brownish yellow, spatulate, 1.5 × 1.0 cm, pendent, margin undulate, apex mucronate; lip with claw 0.30 × 0.25 cm, lateral lobes free relative to the midlobe, 1.3 × 0.8 cm, pink, at a ˂45° angle to the midlobe (in the flattened lip), not overlapping it, margin entire, apex obtuse, midlobe reniform, c. 1.5 × 1.0 cm, white, sinuous, margin fringed, callus cymbiform, flabellate; column clavate, c. 1.0 × 0.3 cm, clinandrium apex tridentate, lateral teeth horn-like, apex premorse, column arms quadrate, 0.10 × 0.15 cm, apex obtuse; stigma elliptic, with basal hooks; anther one, yellow, 0.3 × 0.2 cm.
Distribution and habitat:— Originally described from southern Bahia (Bastos et al. 2012), here we also note one specimen from Minas Gerais State ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 ).
Phenology:— Flowering September–March.
Etymology:— From the Latin fimbriatus, referring to the densely fimbriate midlobe of the lip.
Taxonomic notes:— Encylia fimbriata is easily differentiated from all other Encyclia species by its fimbriate lip midlobe. It is similar morphologically and phylogenetically to E. bragancae and E. fowliei . With the first, it shares the extended lateral teeth in the clinandrium. The lip midlobe of E. bragancae is undulate but not fimbriate. Encyclia fowliei , like E. fimbriata , occurs epiphytically in the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia (Fowlie & Duveen 1992, Barros et al. 2013) and also has brownish petals and sepals, spatulate petals with undulate margins and somewhat undulate lip midlobe margins.
Encyclia vazzoleri would be a synonym of E. fimbriata , but this name has not been validly published (Bastos et al. 2016) because the authors did not designate a type. The authors only mentioned the herbarium in which it was deposited (SP), in violation of article 40 of the Code ( McNeill et al. 2012); we have been unable to locate this specimen.
Selected specimens examined:— BRAZIL. Minas Gerais: Santa Maria do Salto , no specific locality, 900 m, 24 March 2010, Kollmann et al. 11907 ( MBML) .
