hwer Lip ; and in the Fit. plac ed nearer the 

 base of the tube, somewhat connate, and less 

 hairy. 



ii. Stamens from about middle of tube of 

 tubular corolla. 



a. Sepals many-nerved. 

 In all the plants of this section, except in 

 0. glaberrima, the Filaments appear to be 

 m.ore or less hairy at the base ; and if the 

 Style is not said to be glandular, there is, 

 however, no species in ivhich it is said to be 

 not so, except 0. lamina. 



37. Laserpitii. Sep. ou a broadly ovate 

 base, fringed with glands. Cor. arcbed on tbe 

 back, contracted at the insertion of tbe sta- 

 mens, covered witb jointed baij-s, each on a 

 bulbous base. Margin denticulate and ciliate. 

 Upper Lip deeply 2-lobed ; lower witb ovate, 

 retnse, mucronulate lobes. Fil. hirsute on their 

 whole length. Disc of Stigma lemon-coloured. 

 Bracts with a long subulate acumen, on a tri- 

 angular base. Glands of Hairs golden, p.

 like 0. caryophyllacea. Biffers from O. fra- 

 grans by the position of its Fil. and the thick- 

 ened points of its Anthers, Bert.) Scent 

 agreeable and durable. Notwithstanding the 

 differences pointed out, I suspect that caryo- 

 phyllacea, fragrans, wAfragrantissima, form 

 but one species.

 downy, in a long spike, with the smell of a 

 Convallaria, yellowish, p. 5, 6. On Medi- 

 cago. m. Eur. 0. elatior of Bert, seems 

 rather to belong to this than to the follow- 

 ing, if there be really any difference. 



■ 30. elatior. Sep. touching or united in 



front, cloven or trifid, on a broadly ovate base. 

 Segm. lanceolato-subulate. Cor. large, tubu-

31. centaurina. Cor. rather large, yel-

 Fil. 1^ or 2 lines from base, hirsute at base, 

 smooth in the middle, with glandular hairs at 

 top. Stigma pm-ple. Scape thick, a span high, 

 holloio. Scales 7iumerous, ovato-lanceolate, acu- 

 minate. Bracts ovato-lanceolate, acuminate,
