Native (?) Limestone and chalk pastures. Extremely rare. P. June. 
First record, Wm. Colegrave in Bees. MSS., about 1850. 
3. Swere. Swerford, Bees. MSS.; in absence of Seeinens I should 
imagine it to have been Habenaria viridis. 
Berks. 0. Anthropophora autumnalis, Col. mas. C. B. The Man 
Orchis, with O. Anthrop. oreades altera Col. and O. oreades trunco 
pallido brachiis et cruribus saturate rubescentibus. These three 
Satyrions were found on several chalky hills near the highway 
from Wallingford to Reading on Berkshire side of river by 
Mr. Brown! Merrett, 1666. This was probably the Frog and 
not the Man Orchis. The third refers to 0. militaris. Bucks (?) 
Northants, Colley Weston, Barnack. 
OPHEYS. L.

Witney on the right hand side, among the stone-pits by the road- 
side upon rising ground, together with the Thlaspi perfoliatum, 
Dr. Lightfoot MSS. about 1770. Mr. F. 7. Richards, Bolton King, 
and myself found a barren plant, which I believe to be aranifera, 
in the same locality in 1883; it has not yet flowered. Mr. 
Richards believes it to be apifera. This locality is given in Sid.
