acutish, about half longer than the lip, less than I mm. thick.

Lindley describes this as having the 

 lip half as long as the spur, but I have 

 not seen any with so long a spur, not 

 even in Douglas' specimens at Kew.

Limnorchis leucostachys robusta var. nov. 



Very stout and tall, 4-10 dm. high, leafy: spike long a 



; spur usually clavate, over 1 mm. thick, 



nd 



1—3 dm. long 



dense, 



obtuse, about one-third longer than the 



lip. (Fig. 17.) 



This may be distinct from L. leuco- 

 stachys but the only characters distin- 

 guishing it from the type is the thicker 

 spur and the denser spike. More field 

 work is needed in order to settle its 

 relationship to L. leucostachys. The fol- 

 lowing specimens are in our herbaria :
