* have specimens collected by Mr. Jackson near Louisville, Georgia, 

 agreeing very nearly with others sent me from New- York under this name, 

 by Dr. Torrey. In our southern species the bractea! leaves are scarcely 

 longer than the germ, the upper ones not as long, and the horn decidedly 



shorter than the germ. 



O. Fuscescens, of which tnere is no aeiauea 

 mains yet to be determined. I should scare* 

 rian plant in the alluvial districts of Georgia.

To the former species this has much affinity. It appears from specimens 

 to be a taller plant with a more naked stem; the bracteal leaves about as 

 long as the flower^ the corolla larger, the labellura oval, longer than the 

 petals, entire, excepting the two very distinct teeth near the base, iL 

 scarcely more than half the length of the germ, somewhat thickened at t 

 point; germ unusually thick; perhaps only differing from O. Fuscesce 

 from a difference of soil and in my specimens of maturity. 



Grows in the middle districts of Georgia and Carolina.
