On dry open chalky downs. 



Perennial. June. 



Much smaller than any of the foregoing, the stem being, with us, 

 rarely more than 3 or 4 inches high, scarcely leafy but in the 

 lower part. The plates of Haller and the Ft. Dan. represent it 

 about a foot in height. Leaves spreading, lanceolate, rather 

 glaucous, without spots. Spike oblong, dense, obtuse, of nu- 

 merous small flowers, whose dark converging calyx -leaves, and 

 blackish dots on the lip, give them a scorched or burnt aspect. 

 Bracteas small, ovate, acute, coloured. The spur is deflexed, 

 incurved, blunt, scarcely above one third the length of the ger- 

 men. Lip roughish with minute points, purplish, with a white 

 disk, divided into 4 entire lobes, the 2 lower ones often having 

 a small intermediate point, like the following species, to which 

 this is more allied than to any of the preceding. 



Merrett, in his Finax 89, mentions a white- flowered variety, found 

 near Chiswell, Berks. 



6. O. fusca. Great Brown-winged Orchis. 



Knobs of the root oval. Lip of the nectary five-lobed, di- 

 lated, roufijh. Spur obtuse, not half the length of the 

 germen. Calyx converging, blunt-pointed. Leaves ellip- 

 tic-oblong.
