9. Cornuta. Taking root in the ground; scape rigid, 1 to 2 feet 
high, 2 to 3-flowered, flowers Jarge, the lower lip 3 lobed, 
very wide; spur longer than the corolla, porrected, nearly verti- 
cal, subulate, and acute.

10. setacea. Michaux. 3 
Scape minute, rooting, and without leaves, slenderly seta- & 
ceous, distantly 2 to 3 flowered; flowers upon longish pedicels; . 
spur rather long. 
___ Mr. Le Conte says, scape many-flowered (4 to 7 on short pe- 
duncles, Ex.) upper lip of the corolla ovate, lower strongly 3- 
Jobed; spur subulate, as long as the lower lip ‘of the ‘corolla. 
_ Lower division of the calix slightly emarginate. Ex. This de- 
scription does not appear to with Michaux’s plant, and — 
still appears to be nearer it than any other. It cannot possibly 
he the U. subulata of Pursh, and the synonym of Gronovius ap- 
plies probably to the U. setacea of M1ca.—Persoon adds, that 
the flowers of the subulata are white; a circumstance entirely :

_ Besides the above. 10 species, there are 6 others wi

then, 16 species out of 23; of which one, in Martinique, is said 
to produce large white flowers, and entire ovate leaves! The U.
