. CYPRIPEDE.JE, 527 
Hab. in Mexico; in quercetis ad San Miguel Sola, Hartweg. (hab. s. sp.) 
Nearly related to C. spectabile, but the flowers are not half the size, and 
appear from the axils of the uppermost 6 or S leaves. 
6. CyPniPEDIUM palmifolium. 
C. caule angulato villoso piloso multifloro, foliis lanceolatis acuminatis 
plicatis basi angustatis suprà glabris subtüs pilosis superioribus sensim 
in bracteas lineari-lanceolatas mutatis, racemo simplici terminali multi- 
floro, stamine sterili ovato acuto, sepalis glabriusculis ovalibus integris 
subzqualibus labello brevioribus, petalis linearibus acuminatis basi 
ciliatis, labello eliiptico depresso. 
Hab. in Guayand Anglicd, in pratis sabulosis, Schomburgk. (hab. s. sp.) 
“ Called by the Indians Sewarer. It is found upon sandy savannahs, is 
often 5 or 6 feet high; stem and leaves dark green ; sepals light straw 
colour ; labellum yellow, spotted with purple. Schomburgk in litt. The 
leaves are hard like those of a Palm, or a Sobralia, and gradually diminish 
towards the tip of the stem, where they become narrow bracts to several 
flowers about the size of C. pubescens. What appears to be the same 
species in fruit exists in Dr. von Martius’ herbarium without locality ; 
it has a long narrow raceme of 20 flowers subtended by ovate ciliated 
hairy bracts and triangular fruit between 2 and 3 inches long. 
2. Foliosa ; caule polyphyllo, sepalis lateralibus apice liberis.

C. caule folioso, foliis ovalibus acutis, stamine sterili ovato obtuso, sepalis 
ovatis acuminatis subequalibus labello longioribus antico bidentato, 
petalis linearibus acuminatis rectis, labelli ore constricto venis centralibus 
pilosis. 
Hab. in Europd media et septentrionali, nec ut videtur in terris australiori- 
bus; nec non in Asid septentrionali: mont Altaic, Ledebour ; Dahuria, 
Fischer. (hab. s. sp.) 
The straight petals of this plant well distinguish this species from 
C. pubescens and parviflorum, which it much resembles. The former has 
sometimes, but very rarely, the lower sepal bidentate.

8. Cyrripepium cordigerum. Don prodr. 37. 
C. caule folioso, foliis ovalibus acutis, stamine sterili oblongo obtuso 
subcordato, sepalis ovatis acuminatis subaequalibus labello longioribus 
antico apice fisso, petalis lineari-lanceolatis acuminatis rectis, labelli ore 
constricto. 
Hab. in India septentrionali, Wallich, Royle. (hab. s. sp. et v. ic. pict.) 
If the flowers of this plant were not white, with pale green sepals and 
petals, I should have no hesitation in regarding it as a mere variety of 
C. Calceolus, from which I can distinguish it by no satisfactory character ; 
and I am very much inclined to think that when further examined it will 
be found to merge in our European species, which has already been found
