hairy, even in individuals from the same locahty (Muggrub- 

 fj ældet near Röraas); the hairs are multicellular, pointed 

 and glabrous. 



I quote the following from Lindman's exhaustive des- 

 cription: — "The flower is 20 mm long, yellow or whitish- 

 yellow in colour; the tip of the upper lip is dark-red on its 

 inner side, and this colour more or less penetrates through 

 and gives the corresponding spot on the outer side a greyish- 

 red tint; the upper lip has often in addition on the outer 

 side a dark-red spot on each side. The flower is quite erect 



and adpressed to the peduncle The stamens agree with 



those in the other species; their pollen is consequently dry 

 and loose, is fully developed even in the flower-bud, and is 

 contained in a receptacle formed by the four convergently 

 dehiscing anthers, which are held together by the laterally 

 highly compressed upper lip. .... As in the other species 

 the pollen is shed when an insect penetrates into the flower, 

 and thereby widens the slit of the upper lip, which is rather 



narrow in this species The nectary is in the same place 



as in the other species; the corolla-tube is 10 — 13 mm high." 

 The position of the stigma in the flowers figured by Lind- 

 MAN is very much like that in Fig. 44, В and F^ given here; 

 in addition Lindman mentions flowers in which the style 

 was so short, that the stigma remained quite inside the 

 helmet, and did not even reach the anthers; the stigma was 

 normally developed, however, in these flowers. 



According to Kerner (p. 337) the whole of the upper 

 lip curves forward so strongly at the end of the flowering 

 period, that it looks as if it were broken; even if it originally 

 stood as a continuation of the lower part of the corolla-tube 

 enclosed in the calyx, it stands then at an angle of 70°, or 

 even 90° with this, and by bending forward it drags down 

 with it the style and the stamens, so that the stigma no
