Plate III, Fig. I. Satyrium bracteatum. 



SATYRiifM. Corolla ringent; petals five front-ones connate at 

 the base. Label at the back of the corolla, vaulted, with 

 a double spur or a double pouch at the base. Anther 

 reversed. Stigma two-lipped. Obs. a genus remarkable 

 among its nearer co-ordinates for having the true label 

 at the back of the flower; for Swartz, as Mr. Brown has 

 shewn, in his Prodromus of the Flora of Netv Hollatid, 

 was wrong in supposing the middle front petal to be the 

 label in this genus. 



Satyrium bracteatum, leaves ovate, three-nerved, bractea 

 ovate, reflexed, spurs very short and obtuse.
