456 NEOTTEJE— LISTERID E, 
Hab. in insula Benks, Menzies. (hab. s. sp. comm. cel. inventor.) 
A slender plant, from 6 inches to a foot and a half high. The flowers 
are arranged in loose racemes, upon pedicels 3 lines long. The anther-bed 
is hooded as in L. ovata. 
3. LisrERA Escholtziana. Chamiss. in Linnea 3. 33. 
L. foliis orbieulato-ovatis scapi longitudine, racemo pubescente, bracteis 
pedicellis qualibus, sepalis acutis mox reflexis, labello obcordato patente, 
columná elongata recta, 
Hab. in Unalaschka, ad radices montium in graminosis copiose, Chamisso. 
Hooker unites this plant with the next species; but Chamisso says 
that the leaves are rounder than in L. cordata, the raceme downy, the 
bracts as long as the pedicels ; none of which circumstances accord with 
L. convallarioides.

This little plant varies much in stature. I have it 3 inches high from 
Sitcha and Lapland, while my North West American specimens are more 
than a foot in height. It seems to vary a little in the form of the leaves 
which sometimes become oblate: otherwise its structure appears to be 
very uniform. 
6. Listera australis. 
L. foliis ovatis acutis scapo nudo brevioribus, racemo minutissime glan- 
duloso-scabro, sepalis ovatis reflexis, petalis revolutis, labello lineari 
bipartito basi subsagittato sepalis ter quater longiore, laciniis setacels, 
ovario pedicellis glandulosis duplà breviore.
