 (spur tail) Tipularia discolor Nut. noni. absurd, 

 ad Tipula-ria, et nonnulis auct. Orcliis et Li- 

 tnodorum alia auct. — Dili". Orchis Petalis pa- 

 tulis spatulatis, lab. integ. Col. aptera porrecta 

 libera, anthera opercul. articul. bivalvis 4 pol- 

 len. Rad. monilif. fol. rad. luiica, seapis, JI. 

 racem, mitans ehract — Habit quite different 

 from Orchis, the cpur and anther only akin, 

 nearest to O. abortica, another N. G. Epipac- 

 lis. 



13G. Orchis L. Br. auct. Corolla ringens, 

 hib. basi calcaratum, diviso, sine glandulis, 

 anthera unica l-2glandulosa, cuculata. Caules- 

 cens folio sis ^ fl. spicatis — Such are the charac- 

 ters of the true Orchis. But many Sp. offer yet 

 disparities that deserve~to form sub. genera at 

 least. 1. Tephrosanthos R. petalis connivens, 

 calcar incurve. 2. Pomoplis-l^. petalis conni- 

 vens, calcar recto. 3. Khizarina R. petalis pa- 

 tulis s. reflexis: which may offer other subdi- 

 visions. 



1.37. Larnandha R. neog. 1825 (cell st) Diff. 

 Epidendron ovar. filif. Lab. lobato adnato

 paucijicris — Type L. conopsea Raf. Ejnd. do 

 Br. et auct. Hook. hot. m. 3457. This and the 

 next G. are no more real Epidendr. than my 

 Nyctosma. Many G. are yet blended under the 

 absurd characters of, lab. libero vel adnat. cal- 

 loso, costato, vel tuberculato nunc, calcarato! 

 The only common char, being petalis patens, 

 col. erecta, anthera carnosa 2-41oc!
