emarginate, rarely somewhat rounded at the top, its cells nearly 
parallel throughout their whole length; the longitudinal central 
line between the cells being a deep furrow in front and a keel behind. 
Stigma rather broad, truncate, folded so as to leave a channel 
between its pointed lobes, the middle emarginate. The difference 
between the present and the next species has been ably illustrated by 
Professor Babington in Linn. Trans, xvii. p. 463, and Hngl. Bot. 
Suppl. t. 2806.

Locality. On pastures, grassy banks, and open places in woods. 
P. Fl. May, June. Area, 1. 2. 3.4.5. In all the Districts. Very 
similar to the last species, H. 43folza, but larger in all its parts; it 
is known from it by its generally greater height; much larger and 
broader flowers, of a purer white; thicker, more’ compressed and 
somewhat club-shaped spur ; and especially by the greater divergence 
of the anthers, whose bases are so far apart that, were the apex of 
each cell produced till they met, a nearly equilateral-triangle would 
be described by their union. This is far the more common species 
in the county, and the time of flowering is considerably earlier.

Named from ophrus, the eyebrow; doubtless from the hairy 
lumps at the base of the lateral lobes of the labellum in some of the 
commoner species. 
1. O. apifera, (Huds.) Bee Orchis ; from apis, (Lat.) a bee, and 
ero, to bear, in allusion to the convex, velvetty lip of the corolla, 
of a deep brownish purple, variegated with yellow, not inaptly re- 
sembling the body of a humble bee. ngl. Bot. t. 383.
