44 A. A. Eaton: Epipactis, Serapias atque Serapiastrum. 



Serapias L. is S. Helleborine, an aggregate consisting of species of Cepha- 

 lanthera and E\npactis Adans., genera shown by Wettstein to be inse- 

 parable. This type is fixed by Linnaeus in Gen. PI. ed. 5 (1754) as t. 249 

 of Tournefort, which represents S. grandiflora. The name Serapias must 

 therefore be restored to the Cephalanthera-Epipaclis group. The following 

 changes are necessary:
