In a wood near Ingleton, Yorkshire. Mr. Newton and Dr. Ri- 

 chardson. On the top of Aberley hill, and in Wire forest, Wor- 

 cestershire. Mr. Moseley. In Oversley and Ragley woods. 

 Mr. Purton. In several parts of Kent and Surrey, along with 

 E. grand'iflora. Mr. Graves. 



Perennial. May, June. 



Root rather clustered than creeping, with oblong, or somewhat 

 cylindrical, fleshy knobs. Stem above a foot high, leafy from top 

 to bottom. Leaves numerous, alternate, imperfectly two-ranked, 

 lanceolate, twice the length of the preceding, yet scarcely half 

 so broad ; the uppermost tapering to a slender point. The line 

 is very decidedly drawn between them and the bracteas, the 

 latter, except perhaps the lowermost occasionally, being all very 

 minute, not one fourth so long as the germen, sharp-pointed, 

 often hardly discernible. Fl. sessile, nearly or quite erect, scent- 

 less, pure white in every part, except a yellow protuberance on 

 the lip, whose disk bears several white, even, elevated ribs, 

 turning yellowish as they fade. Masses of pollen yellow, oblong, 

 cloven half way down. Stigma peltate, angular. The lip has the 

 rudiment of a spur behind. 



6. E. rubra. Purple Helleborine. 



Leaves lanceolate. Bracteas longer than the downy ger- 

 men. Flowers sessile, erect. Lip tapering to a point, 

 with elevated undulating lines on the disk.
