8 HABENARIA Willd. Sp. Pl. iv, 44. (1804) 
Leafy-stemmed plants with bulbous or fleshy-fibrous roots, en-

and spreading, 3-lobed or entire, with aslender spur at base, 
without ridges or callosities: column very short. Anther persis- 
tent upon the face of the column immediately above the stigma, 
the cells parallel, or divergent at base. Pollen-masses one in 
each cell, of coarse grains united by an elastic web, each attached 
at base by a pedicel to an exposed viscid gland on the upper edge 
or at the side of the stigma. | 
* Stem mostly slender. from an ovate or oblong tuber, with 2-3 
leaves at base and bracteate above: flowers numerous, small, greenish
