 laribus nutantibus, labello sepalis petalfsque acuminatis. — (Tab. CCII.) Douglas msL 



Hab. N. W, America. On the subalpine regions of the Blue and Rocky Mountains. Douglas, Columbia 

 River, about Fort Vancouver. Dr Scouler, — Two to 3 feet high ; stem leafy to the top ; leaves 5-Q inches long, 

 the lower ones sheathing and very obtuse, the rest much acuminated. The colour of the flowers appears 

 to be greenish-brown, like those of E. palustris ; but in the large axillary flowers, it most resembles E. 

 paiienSy from which it may be at once known by its drooping flowers, acuminated sepals, petals and labellum, 

 as well as by the leaves, which are moreover, very rongh, with minute harsh serratures at the margin.
