470 NEOTTEA—SPIRANTHID&. 
44. SPIRANTHES hirta. 
S. foliis lineari-lanceolatis long? petiolatis, vaginis scapi longis acuminatis 
patulis glabris inferioribus foliaceis, spicà densà elongatà multiflora 
villosá, bracteis linearibus acuminatis floribus longioribus, sepalis villosis 
lateralibus in cornu brevi gibboso productis, petalis nonnihil pubescehti- 
bus, labello oblongo plano obtuso basi sagittato et pubescente. 
Hab. in Peruvia ; in montibus Pariahuanca, Mathews, 1065. (hab. s. sp.) 
A very fine species, of which the specimen before me is nearly two feet 
high, nine inches of which are occupied by a dense spike of hairy flowers, 
rather smaller than those of Sp. speciosa. The anther is terminated by a 
membranous rounded appendage. Rostellum long, truncated. Perhaps 
this and S. bonariensis may form a distinct section of this genus.

S. * labelli sepalis brevioris, spathulati, intus papillosi apice reniformi, 
dentato, emarginato, integro, sepalis superioribus inferne connatis, 
inferioribus falcatis ; bracteis ovarium villosum adzquantibus, linearibus ; 
spica piloso-pubescente; foliis longè petiolatis, oblongo-lanceolatis, 
acutis." 
Hab in Peruvie sylvis primevis, versus ostia fluminis Amazonum, ad pagum 
brasiliense Colares. Floret Julio. Stirps 2-23 p. alta. Spica 6-7 pollices 
longa. Flores albi. 
46. Neottia longifolia; foliis caulinis lineari-lanceolatis longissimis trinerviis- 
pedunculo floribusque externe pubescentibus, labelli limbo acuminato 
reflexo, gynostemio ad apicem utrinque repando, stigmate lancellato. 
Blume Bijdr. p. 344. 
Hab. in Jaca sylvis humidioribus montis Salak, 
Species gigantea, 3-4 ped. altitudine. Bractez ovariis majores, lanceolate, 
acuminate, externe pubentes. Flores carnei. Labellum inferne ventrico- 
sum, gynostemium inferné amplectens, intüs verrucosum, 
If this is a Spiranthes, which is doubtful, it would seem to belong to 
this section.

extensa ; stigmate prominente ovato; rostello subulato corneo persistente.
