ORCHIDACEyE 



I have any knowledge that is characterized by a three-parted H. monor- 

 labellum and simple petals ; therefore, unless it is assumed that ^^^^^ 

 Swartz overlooked the filamentous anterior division of the petals 

 in the specimen he described as Orchis monorrhiza, there is no 

 species known to us which fits his description. 



In a recent publication on Jamaican orchids Fawcett &Rendle 

 compare H. socialis with H. alata Hook., and apparently sustain 

 the views held by Reichenbach. Cogniaux, on the other hand, in 

 Urban's Symbolce Antillance, gives H. alata Hook, as a synonym 

 of H. monorrhiza Br., and refers to H. maculosa the species 

 which is here identified with H. monorrhiza. Unfortunately 

 Cogniaux does not discuss the matter and in his citation of 

 specimens makes no allusion to Swartz's type.
