Descriptions of the genera were provided in the fifth 
edition of the Genera Plantarum. Here, Linnaeus recog- 
nized as distinet Orchis (which included Tournefort’s 
Limodorum), Ophrys, Serapias (which included 'Tourne- 
fort’s Helleborine), Limodorum, Arethusa, Cypripedium 
(which included Tournefort’s Calceolus) and I/pidendrum 
(which included Plumier’s V’ani//a). The content of these 
genera can be best illustrated by listing the species in- 
cluded in each genus by Linnaeus in the Species Plant- 
arum and then giving the currently accepted name for 
each species and also the name which Oakes Ames 
adopted or would probably have adopted when dealing 
with the same species. This list, compiled with the help 
of Mr. Peter Fk. Hunt, is as follows:
