a Neortia which I have called N. plantaginea, which differs 
from N. orchioides, principally, in having only a single leaf, 
instead of many leaves, and that one oblongo-lanceolate, to 
each scape. The present individual, which we have re-— 
ceived both from Mr. Locxuart of Trinidad, and the Rev. 
Mr. Guizprne of St. Vincent, and have cultivated for seve- 
ral years, bears nearly the same relation to N. plantaginea 
as that does to N. orchiotdes. It is, however, in all the 
specimens that I have seen, both dried, and in a state of 
cultivation, entirely destitute of leaves, and the whole 
plant is of a singularly lurid reddish-green colour.
