Hah. Prov. Ishikaiu in Hokkaido (Ezo) : Tsukisappu {T. Kawakami\ 

 June 22, 1894, June 1897) ; Prov. Iwashiro : Miharu {K. Nemoto ! June 

 1903) ; Prov. Mino (after Yokiisai linuma and Keisuke ltd) ; Prov. Omi : 

 Mt. Ibuki, forma immaculata (after K. ltd). 



The above description is based on Ezo specimens kindly sent me by 

 Mr, Tukiya Kawakami, and specimens from prov. Iwashiro, which are due 

 to the kindness of Mr. Kwanzi Nemoto. This species is not common in 

 Japan ; besides Ezo it grows in mountains of the middle part of this country. 

 It has the general appearence of Oreorchis, but pollinia are quite different.
