seen by the Rey. E. F. Linton, who refers specimens to O. erice- 
torum, O. latifo olia, and O, ertcetorum x latifolia, and to a possible 
O. incarnata x latifolia. Should this latter hybrid be confirmed 
by the discovery of O. incarnata in the same locality, it will make 
the third known orchis-hybrid for Surrey, as Habenaria conopsea

Invohatas group 1 h brids, makes, in rather a casual way, a most 
which he had examined : “ The sepals are very often reflexed, but 
forms of tomentosa frequently have them so.”’ It is obvious that, 
if this statement as to these Sabini forms can be verified on the 
living bush, a very considerable step forward would be gained in 
enabling us to decide what is the second parent of such ae 
tosa which have their ge reflexed. Moreover, 
s could not continue to be classed under the same varietal 
name as those with e sepals, seeing that their parentage would 
be different. ree in 1 Beit t. Flora, under Sabini Woods, says 
“ persistent calyx-segments erect, more or less spreading or re- 
curved,” but all other authors known to me state that in all such 
forms the sepals becomeerect. In the pretty considerable number
