Stem 4—10 in. stout. Leaves 6-8 in., deeply channelled and keeled, variable in 
breadth, 2-lobed. Racemes 6-12 in., rarely branched, shortly peduncled ; flowers 
1-11 in. diam., rose purple, sometimes spotted with darker; sepals and petals sub- 
equal, oblong, tips rounded; lip twice as long, sides recurved, claw geniculately 
inflexed, spur 4 as long as the midlobe, pointing forwards under it with an incurved 
fleshy 2-lobed callus on the base of the midlobe; column beaked ; anther long- 
beaked, strap long slender. Capsule 3-2 in., subclavate, stoutly pedicelled. — 
Common and variable. Lindley overlooked Roxburgh’s works. In Griffith s

or perhaps a very large var. of this or the following, with leaves 12-14 by 1} in., 
and a stout raceme 12-16 in., the capsules are of multiflorum.

^m indebted to Mr. Kent, of Messrs. Veitch’s establishment, for calling my 
attention to the differences between this and ZE. multiflorum. They are difficult of 
etection in Herbarium specimens, According to fhe published figures the flowers 
vary in colour, white, red, and purple. Æ. Williamsi is a white flowered variety.
