OPHIORRHIZA CARSTENSENSIS, Wernham, sp. nov. 
Herba glabra, caulis debilis. Folia plerumque oblonga, longe acuminata, apice 
obtusa, quemque ad nodum 2 inzqualia, majora ca. 8-135 x 3-45 cm., basi in 
petiolum +1 em. longum attenuata, minora 1-3 x 8-12 mm., omnia glabra; 
stipulz in setas 2-3 divise, 5-9 mm. vel ultra longs. Flores albi, inter minimos, 
in cymis parvis; pedunculi 2-3:5 em. longi, tenues; bracteæ plurime, conspicue, 
oblongo-lineares, ad ca. lx L:5 mm. Calyx cum ovario costato compresso sub- 
glaber; lobi minuti, ovati. Corolle extus minute glanduloso-pubescentis tubus 
5 mm. longus, basin versus ventricosus, insuper sub lobos breviter ampliatus; lobi 
ad 3 mm. longi, lanceolati, acuto-acuminati, intus minute puberuli. 
Camps I to III, VI « and VIb, 500 to 3900 ft. 
Distinguishable by the very thin, unequal leaves, the long setaceous stipules, the 
conspicuous persistent bracts, and the relatively long very acute corolla-lobes. 
OPHIORRHIZA RHODODICTYON, Wernham, sp. nov. 
Caulis debilis, tenuis, novellus rufo-pulverulentus. Folia lanceolata, acuminata, 
basi in petiolum tenuem ad 2:5 cm. longum attenuata, utrinque glabra, ca. 
8-12 x 2-4 cm.; vene secundarie subtus prominule, utrinque ca. 8-12, reticu- 
latione interveniente valde conspicua dilute rosea; stipula persistentes, filamentose 
products, 5-8 mm. longs. Inflorescentia pubescens, parva, multiflora; pedun- 
culus obsoletus vel vix ad 5 mm. longus; bractea obsolete. Calycis dentes 
lineari-triangulares, minuti.  Corolle extus minutissime glanduloso-pubescentis 
tubus 9:3 mm. longus, basin versus ventricosus, insuper parum ampliatus; lobi 
angusti, revoluti, ca. 1:2 mm. longi. Ovarium compressum, sulcatum, rufo- 
pubescens.
