In chalky pastures . 



Plentiful on the southern acclivities of the chalky downs 

 near Folkstone, Kent. The conical hill which forms the 

 north-west boundary of the Cherry-garden^ near that 

 town, abounding in its upper half with this species, and 

 in the lower with 0. apifera. Mr. Gerard E. Smith. 



Perennial. July. 



Roots and herbage, in general, like 0. apifera, but the 

 leaves are, according to Mr. Smith, usually narrower. 

 In Swiss specimens I find no difference. The essential 

 distinctions exist in the fiowers, and these are suffi- 

 ciently well represented by Haller, Seguier, and Vail- 

 lant, though Haller considers the two plants as varieties 

 only,/g-. 4 and 5 of his/«ci^ora being our apfera. The 

 calyx-leaves are shorter in proportion to the lip than 

 those of the apifera, always paler, and rather white 

 than pink, except when the fiowers approach to decay; 

 the keel green, as in that species. Pet. rather smaller, 

 shorter, and broader, more coloured ; downy on the 

 inner surface. Lip essentially and obviously different, 

 much broader and more dilated, nearly twice as long as 

 the calyx; its margin thin, expanded, and directed
