41. THE GENUS SARCOGLOTTIS. 



In Presl's reliquia) Haenkeanaj was proposed a genus of 

 Orchidaceous plants called Sarcoglottis, which was reduced in 

 the Genera and Species of Orchidaceous plants to a section of 

 Spiranthes. Dr. Klotzsch having however expressed his o])i- 

 nion that it really is distinct, chiefly upon the ground that the 

 pollen-masses of Spiranthes are sessile while those of Sarco- 

 glottis arc stalked, and that in Spiranthes both sepals and 

 petals spring directly from the top of the ovary, while in Sar- 

 coglottis the two lateral sepals are dccurrent in the form of a
