"3. O. leucophoea. Labello tripartito, laciniato, maximo; la- 

 ciniis lateralibus internis obovatis crenulatis; cornu filiformi 

 clavato, germine longiore. — Hab. In moist prairies near Kia- 

 mesha. Red river. Flowering in June. — Obs. Probably the 

 largest species in the United States ; the stem being from eigh- 

 teen inches to two and a half feet high ; leaves oblong-lanceolate, 

 diminishing into narrow lanceolate bracts, about the length of 

 the germ ; flowers white, a little tinged with green ; the lateral 

 segments of the petaloid calix ovate, and less than half the 

 length of the lip, which is divided into three dilated segments, 

 divided nearly to the base into many capillary portions. It is 

 more nearly allied to O. incisa than psycodes, but differs from 

 the former in the laciniated lip, and from the latter by the mul- 

 tiplicity of its segments, and the obovate instead of linear form 

 of the two internal petaloid divisions." Nutt. loc. cit.
