Malaxis diphyllos Cham. & Schlecht. LinnEea, 3 : 34. 1826. 



The type of this species was collected in Unalaska in 1816 or 1817 and was also 

 reported by Eothrock in 1867, but we have no specimens so named in the National 

 Hei'barium. Mr. Walter Evans collected in 1897 (No. 357) specimens from the type 

 locality which answer in all respects the characters as given in the original descrip- 

 tion. Most writers on our northern plants have not seen the species, including Lind- 

 ley, who transferred the species from Malaxis to Microstylis. This has led the com- 

 pilers of the Kew Index to refer the species to M, monophyllos. It differs from that 

 species in always having two leaves instead of one; these narrower, often lanceolate 

 and somewhat acutish; slightly larger flowers, denser spikes, and longer, stouter 

 bracts (always longer than the pedicels).
