keeled. Flowers in an oblong rather dense spike, purple. Lip 3- 

 lobed, the lobes equal, entire, not spotted. The 1? lateral or exte- 

 rior segments of the perianth spreading, their margins rolled back, 

 the 3 superior ones broadly ovate, connivent. Spur filiform, twice 

 as long as the germen. The 2 cells of the anthers are perforated at 

 the base, through which the naked, large, and oblong glands of the 

 stalks of the pollen mass appear. Granules of pollen green, lax. 

 Eracteas longer than the germen. This plant exhales a most de- 

 lightful fragrance. The structure of the anther is very curious, and 

 different from that of Orchis; and the long flexuose spur gives the 

 - plant a remarkable appearance.
