A careful comparison of the type description of Ne- 
ottia cinnabarina (supplemented by the plate of Stenor- 
rhynchus cnnabarinus in the Botanical Register) with a 
photograph of the type of Stenorrhynchus montanus 
(which bears a drawing of the lip) leaves no doubt that 
the plants are conspecific. The only discrepancy notice- 
able is that the lip of Stenorrhynchus montanus shows a 
somewhat obovate dilation in the middle, while the lip 
of Stenorrhynchus cinnabarinus is represented (Bot. Reg. 
33, t. 65) as having an elliptical dilation below the mid- 
dle. However, this character is seen to vary in specimens 
examined. 
The lack of a definite spur-like mentum indicates 
that this species should be classed with the genus Spi- 
ranthes.
