p. 99. — Syn.: I. Masia W. R. Dykes, |. c., p. 147. — Rhizoma (?); folia 
linearia, subrigida, sesquipedalia; scapus simplex, brevis; spathae uni- 
florae, valvis longissimis, herbaceis, angustis, acuminatis; pedicellus 5 poll. 
longus; ovarium trigonum, trisulcatum; tubus subnullus; segmenta ex-

from which it differs chiefly in the shape of the segments. The haft of 
the fall is a narrow oblong, and not panduriform, as is that of 7. Ascher- 
somni; the standards are relatively much broader and distinctly oblanceo- 
late in shape, white the styles are linear and not oval, as in I. Ascher- 
sonii and the crests much larger.
