Rootstock creeping. Leaves 6-10 by 1—3 in., falcate, narrowed from the base to 
the acuminate tip. Scape short, cylindric, puberulous ; raceme 12-18 in.; bracts 
white, iz in.; flowers yellowish; lateral sepals revolute, oblong, obtuse.—A very 
remarkable species with a stout creeping rootstock, quite unlike any other in the 
flowers, which more resemble those of a minute-fld. Liparis.

Orchid, ‘Oberon. 5; leaves short linear-oblong or ensiform acute, scape 
short terete naked or sparsely bracteate, raceme slender curved or decurved, 
flowers shortly pedicelled, bracts oblong or lanceolate erose, petals linear,

Leaves 1-4 by 1-] in., acute, rarely faleate. Scape and raceme together 3-6 in., 
usuaily decurved ; bracts longer or shorter than the pedicels ; flowers whorled or 
hot, very variable in size, 2,—,1, in., pale yellow-green. Capsules long-pedicelled.— 
tesembles strongly O. myriantha & verticillata, trom the first of which the lip 
distinguishes it, and the narrow petals from both, O. Arnottiana is, I think, a longer 
Pedicelled variety. The variety figured in Ze. Plant. is a very small state.
