5. G. uniflorum. Perhaps a new species ? The only specimen in the collection has 

 a thread-like root about ten inches long, bearing marks of absent fibres, but, in the 

 present state, perfectly naked. From the neck of this root project whitish, filiform, 

 subterranean stems, simple or dichotomous, with short internodes, each provided with 

 a pair of small scarious leaves ; the external stems are furnished with a rosula of 

 ovate and softly lanuginous leaves, and each stem has a solitary erect peduncle, with 

 2-3 pairs of remote and appressed hoary leaves, and a single erect flower, nodding in 

 the fruiting stage. Stems very numerous. 



North Proven, 72°. 



Another form of C. alpinum, which may be the same as the preceding, is rather 

 smaller, with fewer stems and shorter scapes. The flowers are very large, with sepals 

 terminating in a very acute membranaceous point, and the petals. deeply obcordate.
