CXXII. ORCHIDACES. 363 
15. SCOPULARIA, Lindl. 
Sepals membranous, converging, the lateral smaller. Petals 
membranous, lacero-multifid, convolute round the labellum. 
Labellum erect, convolute, membranous, spurred, lacero-mul- 
tifid at the apex. Anther free, erect; cells close, parallel, 
dilated at base, ascending, forming a large, unequal-sided hood 
covering the glands.—Lindl. Orch. p. 303. 
A small Orchid, with 2 roundish radical leaves, a nude, hairy scape, and a 
long, subsecund spike of small flowers; the upper ones of which are barren, 
their parts split into innumerable shreds, forming a brush-like crown to the 
inflorescence.—First found by Burchell ; common in the Eastern districts, 
and varying according to situation. 
16. HABENARIA, Willd. 
Sepals and petals nearly alike, or the petals narrow and 
sometimes 2-parted, all converging over the column, or the 
lateral sepals spreading or reflexed. Labellum 3-lobed or 
rarely entire, long-spurred at base. Column free, reclined. 
Anther-cells with their bases divergent, adhering to the stig- 
matic channels. Rostellum flat or elongate and hooded or folded. 
2 fleshy processes of the stigma projecting beyond the anther, 
sometimes very long, sometimes short.—Lindl. Orch. p. 306. 
Also Bonatea, Willd., Lindl. p.327 ; Harv. Thes. t. 55, 88, 147. 
A large genus, widely dispersed, chiefly in the temperate zones. Stem 
either leafy at the base, and sheathed above or leafy throughout. Flowers 
in a terminal spike or raceme, large or small.—Many Cape species, chiefly 
on the Eastern frontier, some of them of great beauty, though the flowers 
are not brightly coloured. 
17. TRYPHIA, Lindl. 
Sepals converging, equal, herbaceous. Petals linear or 
lanceolate, membranous, longer than the sepals, erect, adnate 
to the base of the labellum. Labellum membranous, spurred, 
deeply 3-5-cleft, connate with the column. Anther erect, 
small; lobes divergent. Rostellum ovate, flat. Glands nude.— 
Lindl. Orch. p. 333 ; Harv. Thes. t. 105. 
Small herbs with 2 radical leaves, nude scapes, and very delicate, white 
flowers in secund spikes.—3 or 4 species, in the Hastern district. 
18. BUCCULINA, Lindl. 
Calyx galeate; the upper sepals smaller, the lateral ob- 
liquely attached to the base of the labellum. Petals fleshy, 
erect, toothed, converging (perhaps cohering), twice as large 
as the sepals. Labellum concave, deeply 5-parted, spurred. 
Column with the margins produced and adnate to the face of 
the labellum.—Lind/. in Hook. Comp. Bot. Mag. it. p. 209.
