■R^o« Stem dibout two feet high, entirely clotlied with nume- 



rous, oval-lanceolate, acute, glabrous leaves, sheathing at base. Leaves 

 three to four inches long, nearly one and a half wide, Floicers scattered in 

 a long terminal spike. Bracteas about the length of the germ, ovate-lance- 

 olate, slightly acuminate. Three exterior segments of the perianth ovate, 

 somewhat acute, concave; of the interior the two lateral biparted, the upper 

 segments small, the lower linear or setaceous, as long as the segments of the 

 labellum. Lahellum three-parted, the lateral segments setaceous, longer 

 than the middle one which is also very narrow. Horyi twice as long as the 

 germ, somewhat thickened towards the point. 



This plant is to me very rare. I have only met with it once or twice, 

 and then in dry pine barrens— near Beaufort. 



Flowers August — October.
