GYNANDRIA— MONANDRIA. Aceras. 25 



ging, ribbed, permanent leaves. Pet. 2, linear-oblong, 

 the length of the calyx, which conceals them. Nect. a 

 lip without a spur, dependent, nmch longer than the 

 calyx, linear-oblong, with 4- linear, obtuse, entire lobes, 

 the 2 uppermost longest ; the disk linear, flat and even. 

 Anther of 2 oblong membranous cells, close together, 

 above the stigma, depositing the obovate, stalked, granu- 

 lated, elastic masses o^ pollen, by their stalks, upon two 

 glands, " contained in one common hood;" Broicn. Ger- 

 men oblong, furrowed, nearly straight. Style very short. 

 Stigma a moist depression in front. Caps, obovate, 

 slightly curved, furrowed. Seeds very numerous, tuni- 

 cated. 



Root of two successive ovate woolly knobs, with woolly ra- 

 dicles. Herb smooth. Stem solitary, leafy at the base. 

 Leaves elliptic-oblong, enveloped below in a membranous 

 sheath. Fl. numerous, spiked. Cat. ribbed, green or 

 brownish. Found in chalky fields and pastures. 



The want of a spur distinguishes this plant from OrcJiis, 

 with which genus it otherwise most naturally agrees. 

 From OpJiri/s Mr. Brown separates it by the hood of its 

 glands being single, which, confirmed by the habit, is here 

 unquestionably important. I nevertheless prefer more 

 obvious, and no less certain, characters, founded on the 

 converging calyx and long fiat lip.
