cundis petalisque porrectis linearibus sequalibus, labello infundibulari : 
limbi trilobi lobis lateralibus rectangulis intermedio subrotundo crispo 
ramentis 3 parvis fissis sinubus oppositis, caleare elongato apice 
inflato, foliis hysteranthiis gramineis.

. Authentic specimens, sent me by Griffith himself, show this to 
be a slender plant, with a graceful scape 18 inches high, termina- 
ted by from 5 to 8 flowers, with large herbaceous bracts ending 
in fine points. According to Griffith’s Itinerary; the flowers are 
purplish with darker veins; at least such seems to have been 
written by that lamented botanist, as far as can be judged from 
the wretched state of the printed text.

` 172. C.1npica: floribus subglobosis, sepalis petalisque oblongis zequa- 
libus secundis obtusis, labello unguiculato concavo reflexo lamina 
subrotutido-quadrata utrinque medio unidentata intus nuda.

А solitary specimen, found by Dr. Thomson, is before me. 1% 
has no root, a stout scape a foot high with two distant close- 
pressed sheaths, a loose spike of 7 flowers, with linear acuminate 
spreading bracts, the lower of which are empty. The flowers are 
about $ inch in diameter. The only flower I have been able to 
. dissect had lost anther and pollen-masses; but I think the plant 
must belong to the present genus. 
The leafy Corallorhizas formerly published by me I have now 
had better means of examining. C. foliosa Ihave redissected ; and 
a second species, from Dr. Thomson, has proved to be in a good 
examinable state. In both, the pollen-masses are globular, not at 
all compressed, and in the latter I have found them attached to а 
true caudicle with its gland. It is therefore clear that they must 
be separated from Corallorhiza and placed near Eulophia, from 
which their pollen-masses distinguish them. A third species is 
the Siberian Corallorhiza patens. The alpine habits of all lead me 
to propose the name of Oreorchis for this small group: 
OREORCHIS, gen. nov. 
Tuberosa: Folia angusta radicalia plieatá. Scapi simplices di- 
stantes vaginati; apice dense racemosi: Sepala et petala sub- 
sequalia secunda, lateralia basi obliqua. Labellum unguiculatur
