from the position of the viscid discs that it would bo fertilised in a different manner 

 from the Larger Butterfly Orchis ; and on examining the moths which frequeut the 

 species he verified his own suspicion, and tolls us that the pollinia of the two 

 species of Hnbenaria, when attached to moths, could be distinguished at a glance. Ho 

 says, "A poet might imagine that whilst the pollinia are borne from flower to flower 

 through the air, adhering to a moth's body, they voluntarily and eagerly place 

 themselves in each case in that exact position in which aluuo they can Lopo to gain 

 their wish and perpetuate their race." 



GENUS F.— NEOTINEA. Reich, fil 



Perianth segments all connivent; labellum turned downwards, 

 sliarply spurred at the base. Anther wholly adnate to the column ; 

 its two cells subparallel, and each containing a pollen-mass of which 

 the caudicule is affixed to a gland, the two glands naked, but appear- 

 ing to be enclosed in a pouch from the " apex of the rostellum being 

 rolled inwards." Stigma produced into a plate in front of the pollen- 

 masses with 2 crescent-shaped elevations. 



A small herb with roundish-ovoid root-tubers, and the habitat of 

 the preceding genus. 



The name of this genus was originally Tinea, to which the younger Beichenbach 

 prefixed Neo, to distinguish it from Tinea, a well-known genus of small moths.
