Quite distinct from O. cimicina, in its long sepals, which form a compact 
upper lip, and in the long spur, which is fully equal to the lip in length. 
It does not dry of the sooty colour of O. cimicina ; and its flowers are sweet 
scented. Reichenbach distinguishes three varieties, but they are of no 
importance. Steven (Observ. in Pl. Rossicas. p. 64) seems to consider 
O. cassidea distinct from O. coriophora; whence I conclude that by the latter 
name he means O. cimicina, which is, therefore, found in Iberia and 
Caucasus,
