Habenaria.] GYNANDRIA — MONANDRIA. 315 



broad, nearly erect, and acuminated leaves, and, especially, by the bi-ac- 

 teas, which are leafy and longer than the germen. 



10. O. maculdta, L. (spotted palmate Orchis); lip plane 3-lobed 

 sometimes obscurely so, calyx-leaves spreading, 2 lateral petals 

 connivent, spur cylindrical shorter than, and bracteas as long as, 

 the germen. E. Bot. t. 632. 



Pastures and heaths, frequent. Fl. June, July. If. — A foot high, 

 slender. Leaves distant, spotted with purple. Flowers white or pale 

 purple, more or less spotted and streaked, especially the lij). Its gene- 

 rally deeply lobed lip having the central lobe the longest and ovate, 

 together with the small, subulate bracteas, constitute in themselves 

 sufficient marks of distinction between this and O. latifolia. 



2. GyjiNAUENiA. Br. Gymnadenia. 



I. G. conopsea, Br. (^fragrant Gymnadenia.) Orchis, L. — JS. 

 Bot. t. 10. 



Dry jiastures and heaths, in mountainous or hilly countries, especially 

 in Scotland, most abundant: scenting the atmosphere with its fragrance. 

 Fl. June — Aug. If. — Stem 1 foot high. Tubers palmate. Leaves 

 linear-lanceolate, keeled. Floicers in an ovuto-oblong, rather dense 

 sjnke, rose-purple. Lip 3-lobed, not spotted, the lobes equal, entire, 

 rounded. The 2 lateral calyx-leaves spreading, their margins revolute ; 

 2 lateral petals connivent. Spur filiform, twice as long as the gerinen. 

 The 2 cells of the anthers are perforated at the base, through which the 

 naked, large and oblong glands of the stalks of i\\e pollen-masses appear. 

 — This genus is near the following in character, but differs in habit. 



3. Habenaria. Br. Habenaria. 



1. H. viridis, Br. {green Habenaria); spur very short 2-Iobed, 

 lip linear bifid with an intermediate tooth, bracteas much longer 

 than the flowers, tubers palmate Satyrium, L. — E. Bot. t. 94. 



Dry hilly pastures, not unfrequent. Fl. June, July. If. — Stein 

 6 — 8 inches high ; lower leaves nearly ovate, obtuse ; calyx and lateral 

 jjetals connivent and forming a helmet, green. Lip small, greenish- 

 brown. 



2. H. dlbida, Br. (small lohite Habenaria); spur obtuse much 

 shorter than the germen, lip 3-cleft the segments acute, middle 

 one the longest, calyx-leaves and lateral petals nearly equal ovate 

 concave. Satyrium, L. — E. Bot. t. 505. 



Mountain pastures, not unfrequent. Fl. June, July. If. — About a 

 span high. Leaves oblong, striated, lower ones obtuse. Flowers white, 

 small, fragrant ; lip scarcely longer .than the calyx, deflexed. 



3. H. bifolia, Br. {Batterjly Habenaria ) ; spur filiform twice as 

 long as the lanceolate entire obtuse lip, radical leaves 2 oblongo- 

 obovate attenuated at the base — a. anther-cells nearly parallel.
