ORCHIDACE^ 



and Satilla river, West Florida. — Dr. Baldwyn, who favoured H. nivea 

 me with a specimen under the above name. Flowers clear white, 

 rather small. Lower leaves narrow, a span long, upper ones dis- 

 proportionately small ; bractes shorter than the germ. Genitali- 

 ferous column remarkably small in proportion, not half so large 

 as the preceding,^ the pollinia are consequently subsessile. Spike 

 rather dense, 2 or 3 inches long." Nutt. loc. cit. 



Gymnadenia conica as represented in Lindley's herbarium at 

 Kew is conspecific with Habenaria nivea. Lindley's tracing from 

 a flower of the plant collected in Florida by Cozzens clearly re- 

 presents H. nivea.
