A piant wilii the iiabit of C. vcratrirolia. Fiowers white. Mr. Reichenbach bas 

 rigliily poiiiicd out tlie fact tliat ihn spur of ihis specics is variable, sometimes being 

 eniargiiiate , sometimes not, aiui eiilier longcr or shortcr ilian the lip. The same 

 fact is oliservablc in my wild specimens. Ii chiefly dilfers from C. verairifolia in tlie 

 larger size of llie laieral lobes of ihe lip. Il is probably the Amblygiotlis verairifoiia 

 of Biuine.
