I have seen no specimens which I should refer to ew latifolia in Oxford-

greater number of our plants should be referred.

Plot writes of Epipactis—‘The plants which Ray doubts whether 
specifically distinct are also Helleborines, the one his flore atro rubente, 
the other H. latifol. montan. Cat. pl. Ang., whereof the former has small 
narrow leaves, somewhat like palustris, and growing thicker on the stalk, 
whereas those of the latter are broad and much thinner; the one also 
flowers a full month after the other, though not so signally differing in the 
flower as Mr. Ray owns his to do, our latifol. mont. coming nearer to 
that of Gerarde than of Ray or Dodonzus, having purple flowers as deep 
or deeper than those of the H. flore rubente.’
