It may, however, eased zeae Epipactis, as established 
y Crantz, is av e. This author (Starpes Austriacum, fase. 
vi. 456, 1769) writes “ Epipactis Haller,” giving also synonyms— 
“ Ophrys, Nidusavis, Helleborine Tourn. aliorum: Ophrys, Sera- 
pias, Neottia, Herminiwm Linn.” He continues: ‘“ Capsule 
Soa ra duze sibi vicine in glande articulata scapo staminifero 
But this definition is useless to separate Serapias from 
Halsborés: indeed, as the synonyms quoted show, it is meant 
to cover both. The original E'pipactis of Haller was founded on 
a single species, i.e. Goodyera, although it would appear that he 
subsequently lost grip of its characters, and added to that genus 
plants he formerly more correctly put in Helleborine; but, in any 
case, Haller’s Hpzpactis is pre-Linnean. In fact, t, Crantz’s genus 
Epipactis is scarcely less inchoate than that of Adanson, in- 
cluding as it does no fewer than eight genera. The pu —
