Smith, from which it differs mainly in the width of the leaves,in the length of the leaf-sheaths, in the sizeof the floral parte and other details evident in the description; and Femaeea booainenste Pereira & Movtinho, which is the gecond species described in thie genus, differs from F. itatiaize Bsker mainly by ite leaves aarroved tovard the base, not forming pseudobulbs and by ite dense inflorescence with cuscseiles Flowers anong others features. As some specific characters vere used in the original description of the genus Femscoa Baker, what vould not let this new species to be placed under this genus, the authore propose 25 emcad to the original description made by Baker (1889).

At the second half of the Last century, Baron Heinrich aves Ritter You Fernsee accompanied Prince Maximilian Von wied-Nowsied and Later the Princes August and Ferdinando Von Sazen-coburz on their travels in Brasil, Daring both expeditions he had been collecting plants in the states of Rio de Janelro, £. Santo, Bania-and Pernambuco, being sent all aateriai to Wien. On his last travel he went to the Htatiaia sumait where he found 2 new plant lately described under the name of Sromecia Ztatiatas Wawra (1880). This plant was quite different fron others Eton the same genus and that was noticed by Baker who proposed in 188? a new nus vhere to put Bromelia ttatiatae, using a2 differential characters its inflorescence, bract-like steq-leaves, cupular calyx above the ova~ ry and long such-contorted stigaas", he described the genus Ferms20a Baker, naued after Baron Wawra Yon Fernsee.
