niaiost glouular when they are small, linear or narrowly linear-spaihulatc, 

 ending in a fine often long and hair-like point, about \ in. long in the smaller 

 specimens, 1^- in the luxuriant forms. Seapc from 3 or 4 in, to above 1 ft. 

 high, the upper portion occupied by a loose, simple or slightly-branched 

 raceme, the peduncles always bearing 1 or 2 bracts. Calyx-lobes free. 

 Corolla variable in size, yellowish or according to others white tinged with 

 purple or pink, with appendages to the labellum but none to the throat. 

 Capsule obovoid, about 2 lines long. — DC. Prod, vii. 333 ; S. hicolor, Lindl.

 and perhaps a variety distinguished by tlie longer and more copious yellowish 

 glandular hairs which clothe the inflorescence and sometimes' also the base of 

 the scape and foliage. Stock tufted. Leaves linear, 1 to 1| in, long, ter- 

 minating in a liair-iike point. Scape 6 in, to 1 ft. high. Panicle or raceme 

 from shortly pyramidal to narrow and 3 or 4 in. long, the peduncles mostly

 between the two forms figured in the * Botanical Magazine/ but there are too many inter- 

 mediates to admit tliem as distinct varieties, and, probably, the whole must be reduced to 

 B. jiUiferum. Th.e *S^. pubigerum much resembles this species, but may be readily known 

 by the linear ovary and capside.

 reduced sometimes to 3 or 4 flowers. Calyx 1^ lines long; the lobes free,
