GYNANDRIA DIANDRIA. 52 c 



of Mr. Mackenzie, of Bundonpld, about two 

 miles from the head of LHtle-l.och-Broojr.^ on 

 the weitern coafl of Rofs-Jhire. k has alfo been 

 found in a wood oppofite to Moy-hall, on the 

 fouth fide of the road to Lrjerne/s^ as we have 

 been informed by Dr. Ho^e, U. VIII. 

 The roots are round, annular, and branched, and 

 creep under the mofs, throwing out new run- 

 ners or fhoots : the ftalk is about a foot high, 

 ereft, and hairy, efpecially towards the top ; 

 the leaves art oval, nervous, have broad folia- 

 ceous pedicles, and grow near the b:dc of the 

 ftali^. Thofe nerves are generally five in num- 

 ber, but fometimes feven, branched from the fides 

 and reticulated with veins which are often of a 

 fufcous colour. The flowers are a little hairy, 

 or pubefcent, whitifli or ftraw-coloured, and 

 grow in a fpike, from fifteen to twenty in num- 

 ber, rifing from one fide of the ftalk, but turn- 

 ing round, and looking to the' other fide. The 

 hra^e^e are lanceolate, longer than x.\\e. germen^ 

 and of the fame colour as the flowers : the pe- 

 tals aie three, pubefcent, and glew'd, as it were, 

 together, fo that they cannot be feparated wirh^ 

 out being torn. The lip is lanceolate, and ter~ 

 minated behind with a gibbous boat-iliaped 

 netlarium^ which makes this plant belono- more 

 properly to the genus of i^crnpCiS, Lin.
