IRIDACE^. 273 



EPIPACTIS, Eich. 



E. latifolia, All. Cyb, Br. Supp. 69, 101. Syme E. B. ix. t. 1480. 

 I. Neighbourhood of Uxbridge ; Lightf. MSS. VI. Enfield ; Wollaston. 

 A doubtful inhabitant of Middlesex, 659 being perhaps the species 

 intended in the above stations. 



659. ? S. media, Fr.^ 

 ' E. latifolia ' (Melvill). 



Cyb. Br. Supp. 69, 101. Syme E. B. ix. t. 1480. 

 Shrubberies, perhaps parasitical ; very rare. P. July, August. 

 IV. In some plenty on a raised mound formed about 19 years ago by the 

 soil removed in digging the foundations of the church, and planted 

 as a shrubbery bet. Harrow "Weald Church and the Eectory, 1866. 

 Eirst observed there by Kev. E. J. Knight (v. Melv. 76). 

 VI. In the shrubberies and plantations of Chase Cottage, near Enfield, 

 appearing spontaneously a few years before 1861 and rapidly in- 

 creasing ; Phyt. N. S. V. 380, and vi. 299. 

 First record: ' M. A. W.' 1861. The plants found at these two localities 

 are no doubt referable to the same species, but we have not seen spe- 

 cimens from Enfield. The situation of the plant in both localities is 

 such as to favour the view that it is parasitical, but its sudden ap- 

 pearance in both cases is not easily explicable. The figure quoted 

 does not well represent our plant, which is possibly Smith's E. 'pur'pu- 

 rata, found in Bedfordshire and {Fl. Herts. 295) Herts. 



660. E. palustris, 8w.
