Stem usually solid. 



A foot high, slender. 

 Leaves distant, spotted with purple. Flowers 

 white or pale purple, more or less spotted or streaked, especially the 

 lip. Its generally deeply lobed Up, having the lateral lobes rounded 

 central one rather the longest and ovate, together with the usually 

 small subulate hracteas. constitute the chief marks of distinction be- 

 tween the usual form of this and 0. latifolia. But the bracteas Qf^x^ 

 tainly do vary much in length, although they are seldom so \ox\^ and 

 leafy as in the last species. We must depend, then, either solely on the 

 lip, or on the bracteas, as a distinguishing character, the one not 

 always corresponding with the other, or unite the two species. We 

 doubt if they be distinct; a doubt in which we understand Mr. Bor- 

 rer joins.
