 Tliis is near L. pUcata and Tj. 

 Ucliiyamas, but distiuguisliable from thera 

 by the longer and more slender column of the flowers. The columns of tlie 

 other species are very much shorter. Also very near Liparis viridiflora L., 

 but diflers from it in having larger flowers and in the lips with obscure 

 lobes.
