to satisfy myself of the description 
have given of the anther in the G'enera 
Species of Orchideous Plants, being 
sct. In the collection of Mr. Drége is 
second species, the parts of which are a 
little more fleshy, and easy to examine; of 
the anther of that a description follows :—

As a genus this differs from ZrypAia im 
its petals not being united with the label- 
lum; and from Platanthera in its column 
having the two sides brought forward and 
adherent to the face of the labellum; it 
also differs from both in its fleshy broad- 
toothed concave petals, which stand erect, 
and apparently adhere by their edges into 
a sort of vaulted pointed arch, giving the 
flower the appearance of having two little 
cheeks (Buccule).
