This is the plant to which I adserted, fol. 1785, in com- 
paring G. faucialis with G. Sella; but upon comparing it 
with the G. Sellovii of Martius, 1 find it is a very different 
plant, and in fact a mere garden misnomer. A 
G. Sellovit is related to G. macrostachya, fol. 1202, and 
allagophylla, fol. 1767, while this forms.one of the set of 
G. bulbosa, which is plainly distinguished by the oblique 
orifice of the corolla, the long emarginate upper lip, and the 
very small lobes of the lower Us It is most nearly allied to 
G. faucialis, from which it differs in the leaves being more
