A CORRECTION 
BY 
Louis O. WILLIAMS 
Dr. Vicror S. SumMMErnAyes of the Royal Botanic 
Gardens, Kew, has called my attention to an error that 
I made in describing a plant which I thought to be an 
Orchis. Dr. Summerhayes has noted the similarity of 
my Orchis constricta to the much older Habenaria camp- 
toceras Rolfe. 
Dr. Summerhayes considers the plant as belonging to 
Schlechter’s genus Neottianthe (a genus which we have 
not accepted as distinct from Habenaria), remarking that 
‘This appears to be a true Neottianthe although very 
aberrant in its large single flower. ”’ 
The synonymy of the species is as follows: 
Habenaria camptoceras 2o/fe in Journ. Linn. 
Soc. 29 (1892) 319. 
Gymnadenia camptoceras Schlechter in Fedde Rep- 
ert. Beihefte 4 (Orch. Sino-Jap. Prodr.) (1919) 104, 
Neottianthe camptoceras Schlechter in Fedde Repert. 
16 (1919) 292. 
Orchis constricta LL.O.Williams in Bot. Mus. Leafl. 
Harv. Univ. 5 (1988) 164.
