JUNE. 251 
yellowish-green to brown; the spur is very short. About 
eight inches high, leaves ovate and obtuse. One more 
curious species must be mentioned. 
Orcuis (Ophrys) ANTHROPOPHORA. Green-man Orchis. 
Not common, but found in Kent and the south-eastern 
counties, in chalk pits, and by road-sides in a chalky soil. 
The flower is said to be, in figure, like a human being, but 
it more nearly resembles some insects. However, it has a 
very singular appearance, though, perhaps, less beautiful 
than many others. The stem is about afoot high. Leaves 
mostly near the root. Flowers in a long spike. Helmet 
green. Lower lip yellowish, with a red or brown margin, 
divided into three long, narrow, segments, the middle one 
being considerably lengthened, and divided into two, thus 
forming the legs of the figure, the other two being the 
arms. 
GYNANDRIA. MONANDRIA. 
PETALOIDES. ORCHIDACE. ¥ 
EPIPACTIS. (He ttesorine.) 
Generic Character. Lip very concave at the base, the extre- 
mity undivided, or three-lobed, the middle lobe large, and as it 
were jointed.
