In pastures, groves and shady dells, plentifully. 



Perennial. April, May. 



Somewhat larger than the preceding, especially the roots. 

 Leaves chiefly radical, elliptic-lanceolate, sleek and shining, of 

 a fine green, more or less stained with purplish black, though 

 foreign authors describe what seems an unspotted variety ; the 

 under side is paler, as usual in this tribe. Fl. of a more uni- 

 form purplish crimson than the last ; the disk of the lip in like 

 manner whitish and spotted, with a fine downy surface. Calyx- 

 leaves with 3 ribs, not distinguished by any gi-een colour ; the 

 uppermost converging with the petals into a hood ; the 2 late- 

 ral ones bent strongly upwards, and spreading. Cells of the 

 anther close together, deep purple. Masses of pollen yellow, 

 undivided. Ger men, as well as bract eas, purple. Spur tumid, 

 turned a little upwards. Lip unequally four-lobed, variously 

 notched or toothed. 



Thesejiowers, though without scent, cannot but engage the atten- 

 tion of all who admire the charms of spring, and they mix with 

 the Hare-bell, Cowslip, and Cuckoo-flower in country nose- 

 gays. They are probably what the Queen in Hamlet terms 

 " Long-purples." The Rev. H. Davies has often found them 

 perfectly white, nor did they change when transplanted. 



5. O. ustulata. Dwarf Dark-winged Orchis. 



Knobs of the root oval. Lip of the nectary four-lobed, 

 rough with small points. Spur obtuse, not half the 

 length of the germen. Calyx converging. Leaves lan- 

 ceolate.
