throat of the spur is a thick decurved tongue, which only 
partly blocks the entrance.

Common on trees near the sea. 
I can find no description to suit this little plant, so abundant 
along our sea-coasts. The colouring and form of the lip 
resemble those of S. secundus, Griff., but there is no real septum 
in the short horizontal spur, though a channelled ridge runs 
down it. The dorsal callus is large and thick. The pedicel of 
the pollinia, which are sessile, passes into a broad triangular 
thin disc, with the two angles prolonged in the form of teeth.
