GYNANDRIA— MONANDUIA. Aceras. 25 



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

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

 lip without a spur, dependent, much 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 of pollen, by their stalks, upon two 

 glands, " contained in one common hood;" Broimi. 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 hiobs, with woolly ;•«- 

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

 Leaves elliptic-oblong, enveloped below in a membranous 

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

 brownish. Found in chalky fields and pastures. 



The want of a spur distinguishes this plant from Orchis, 

 with which genus it otherwise most naturally agrees. 

 From Ophrys Mr. Brown separates it by the hood of its 

 glandshemg single, which, confirmed by the habit, is here 

 imquestionably important. I nevertheless prefer more 

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

 converging calyx and long flat liji.
