cells rather divergent, tubes short, glands of pollinia small; stigmatic processes 
elongate, tips often falcate dilated and upeurved ; rostellum obscure. Capsule $in., 
sessile, fusiform, ribs thick. —Black when dry. 
17. H. arietina, Hook, f.; habit and foliage of H. pectinata, but

So similar in a dried state to H. pectinata as to be with difficulty distinguish- 
able, and though separated by Lindley, perhaps only a variety. Unfortunately 
Lindley in describing both species gave Don’s name to the wrong plant, as I have 
proved by examining Smith's original specimen of O. pectinata in his Herbarium at 
the Linnean Society, which is of a very small state.—Black when dry. 
18. H. intermedia, Don. Prodr. 24; leaves ovate or oblong acum! 
nate, flowers few very large, dorsal sepal recurved, lateral reflexed narrower 
than the dimidiate obovate falcate glabrous petals,lip longer than the 
sepals, spur twice as long as the ovary. Lind/. Gen. & Sp. Orchid. 322;
