The following published genera were omitted in their proper place, 
among Malaxee. » 
CORALLORHIZA. 
Corallorhiza. Hall, Hist. 2. 159. R. Brown in Hort, Kew. 5. 209. Endlich. gen. 
no. 1339. 
Perianthium ringens. Sepala lateralia ascendentia, basi obliqua, in cornu 
brevis forma decurrentia, supremum erectum incurvum. Petala se- 
palis conformia, sed paulo minora, supra columnam conniventia. La- 
bellum unguiculatum, basin versus bilamellatum, patulum, integrum 
trilobumque. Columna libera, semiteres, petalis ferè qualis, clinandrio 
plano truncato; stigmate ovali in rostellum parvum recurvum glanduli- 
forme producto. Anthera Q-labiata, 2-locularis, trivalvis, (nempe 
labii superioris valvulis connectivo colligatis, inferioris disjunctis.) 
Pollinia 4, globosa, cereacea, mollia, libera, nunc rostello leviter adhz- 
rentia.—Herbe parasitice, sæpiùs fusce aphylle, nunc foliose, 
hemispharam borealem utriusque orbis in paludibus habitantes. Rhiz- 
oma corallinum, ramosum, articulatum, fibrillis fer nullis. Scapus va- 
ginatus. Flores racemosi, fusci, 
The pollen masses of this genus are softer than customary among 
Orchidaceous plants with waxy pollen ; but they cohere in round solid 
masses, and only indicate their pulverulent nature when softened in 
water, and crushed; 1 therefore think it better to regard the genus as of 
the Malaxeous than of the Arethuseous tribe. It seems to constitute a 
type of structure among Malaxee equivalent to that of Eulophia in 
Vandee. 
§ 1. Aphylia. 
a. Labellum trilobum. 
1. ComarLLonuiza innata. R. Brown in Hort. Kew. 5. 909. Hooker f.

lobo intermedio emarginato glabro lateralibus subtruncatis: lamellis 
rectis ultra sinus vix productis. : 
Ophrys corallorhiza. Linn. sp. 1349. Eng. Bot. t. 1547. 
Cymbidium corallorhizon, Swartz. act. holm. 1800. p. 238. Willd. sp. pl. 4. 109,

Corallorhiza verna. Nuttall in Journ. acad. Phil. Oct. 1823 p. 135. Beck Bot. of 
the States, 345. 
Hab in paludibus Europe, omnis Sibirie, Gmelin, et Americe septentrion- 
alis. (hab. s. sp.) 
There is certainly no difference whatever between the C. verna of the 
N. American Botanists and our European C. innata. Reichenbach (Fl, 
excurs. p. 131.) mentions a variety of the latter, which, he says, resembles 
the C. multiflora, and like it has a white lip with crimson spots, but I have 
seen no specimens of it.
