British Flora, ed. 4. vol. i. p. 315.—Lindley, Synopsis, p. 260. 
Tubers palmated. Stem erect, about a foot high, solid, leafy- 
Leaves lanceolate, narrow, gradually diminishing upwards, the lower 
ones broadly lanceolate, spreading, all marked with irregular purple 
spots, almost black. Inflorescence a terminal dense conico-cylindrical 
spike of numerous crowded flowers. Bractea lanceolate, more or less 
distinctly three ribbed and veiny, about the length of the ovarium, 
pale green or purplish. flowers pale purple, or white, with various 
purple streaks and spots. Sepals oblong, acute, spreading. Petals 
connivent. Lip reflexed, flat, three lobed, the lateral lobes obliquely 
rounded, crenated, the intermediate one oblong, acute, or angular. 
Spur cylindrical, nearly as long as the ovarium. 
Habitat.— Meadows, pastures, and woods ; common. 
Perennial; flowering in June and July. 
This isa more frequent plant than the former, of more slender 
habit, and readily distinguished by its solid leafy stem, the upper 
leaves diminishing almost into the bractea, its more deeply divided 
lip and subulate bractea seldom longer than the ovarium, and often 
of a purplish colour. The leaves vary considerably in the number 
and depth of the colour of the spots upon them, as well as the flowers.
