This species has been ignored by later writers. There appears 

 to be no specimen at the Museum of Paris, but there is a draw- 

 ing of a flower and ovary, petal, gynostemium and lip. From this 

 it appears to be a Euhabenaria with simple lip and petals, and 

 would be related to H. odontopetala. (A. A. E.) 



The drawing of a flower of Habenaria stricta exhibits a spe- 

 cies which, as Eaton suggests, appears to be related to H. odonto- 

 petala. The labellum, however, is ligulate, acute, and probably 

 entire at the base, which is obscured by the elongated, fleshy, 

 stigmatic processes. The petals are not toothed, and as shown 

 in Richard's drawing are lanceolate and 3-nerved. The slender 

 spur is longer than the labellum and subequal to the ovary.
