Natural order of orchide^ 147 



Massa genitura Orchidis, pcdicellis ad sinus 

 superiores loculorum, lacinulis propriis in- 

 seftis. 



Stigma posticum, convexum (versus galeam) 

 infra Toculos. 

 Per. Congenerum. 



N. B. This genus, which derives its name from 

 KaJfvxor {galea, cassis) on account of the struc- 

 ture and position of the flower, is easily 

 to be distinguished from the rest, by its 

 four-leaved calyx. The insertion of the 

 Labellum and the two small wing-shaped 

 leaflets at the upper end of the style, hang- 

 ing down behind the anthera, represent as 

 it were an inverted orchideous flower. 

 Thefe wings seem to be of the same na- 

 ture with the two inner leaflets, which 

 are commonly met with in the flowers of 

 the Orchidea\
