hidden in the spur. The wings are probably very variable : the dra^sing in Beddome's 

 icones does not resemble that in the Madr, Jonmal (and neither are like Wight's 

 Dgure); there is a short subulate process on their inner marmn, close above the spur, 

 which may descend into it.

 pnetimes the leaves being viscid, the usually larger size, faint crenatures of the leaves, 



onger spur, and (according to Beddome) the echinate ripe seeds which are matted with

 'oner margin close to the base, which is hidden in the lip.
