from the position of the viscid discs that it would be fertilised in a different manner 
from the Larger Butterfly Orchis; and on examining the moths which frequent the 
species he verified his own suspicion, and tells us that the pollinia of the two 
species of Habenaria, when attached to moths, could be distingnished at a glance. He 
says, “A poet might imagine that whilst the pollinia are borne from flower to flower 
through the air, adhering to a moth’s body, they voluntarily and eagerly place 
themselves in each case in that exact position in which alone they can hope to gain 
their wish and perpetuate their race.” 
GENUS V—NEOTINEA. Reich. fil. 
Perianth segments all connivent; labellum turned downwards, 
sharply spurred at the base. Anther wholly adnate to the column; 
its two cells subparallel, and each containing a pollen-mass of which 
the caudicule is affixed to a gland, the two glands naked, but appear- 
ing to be enclosed in a pouch from the “ apex of the rostellum being 
rolled inwards.” Stigma produced into a plate in front of the pollen- 
masses with 2 crescent-shaped elevations. 
A small herb with roundish-ovoid root-tubers, and the habitat of 
the preceding genus. 
The name of this genus was originally Tinea, to which the younger Reichenbach 
prefixed Neo, to distinguish it from Tinea, a well-knge@q@ genus of small moths.
