In pastures, groves and shady dells, plentifully. 



Perennial, April, May. 



Somewhat larger than the preceding, especially the roots. 

 Leaves chiefly radical, elliptic-lanceolate, sleek and shining, of 

 a fine green, more or less stained with purplish black, though 

 foreign authors describe what seems an unspotted variety ; the 

 under side is paler, as usual in this tribe. Ft. of a more uni- 

 form purplish crimson than the last ; the disk of the lip in like 

 manner whitish and spotted, with a fine downy surface. Calyx- 

 leaves with 3 ribs, not distinguished by any green colour ; the 

 uppermost converging with the petals into a hood ; the 2 late- 

 ral ones bent strongly upwards, and spreading. Cells of the 

 anther close together, deep purple. Masses of pollen yellow, 

 undivided. Germen, as well as bracteas, purple. Spur tumid, 

 turned a little upwards. Lip unequally four-lobed, variously 

 notched or toothed. 



These Jlowers, though without scent, cannot but engage the atten- 

 tion of all who admire the charms of spring, and they mix with 

 the Hare-bell, Cowslip, and Cuckoo-flower in country nose- 

 gays. They are probably what the Queen in Hamlet terms 

 "Long-purples." The Rev. H. Davies has often found them 

 perfectly white, nor did they change when transplanted. 



5. O. ustulata. Dwarf Dark-winged Orchis. 



Knobs of the root oval. Lip of the nectary four-lobed, 

 rough with small points. Spur obtuse, not half the 

 length of the germen. Calyx converging. Leaves lan- 

 ceolate.
