Thunberg's original plant is destitute of the stem, therefore it is very 

 difficult for identification, but it may be Japanese Kokuran, which is not 

 Kidley's species in Journ. Linn. Soc. XXII. p. 262. It is very closely allied 

 to Liparis formosana Eeichb. fil. (=L. hituherculata Lindl. var.? for- 

 rnosana Kidley), but the wings of the column and the apex of the labellum 

 differ more or less from it.

This differs from Ophrys nervosa Thunb., or Liparis nervosa Lindl., 

 by its lanceolate leaves and ovoid-globose pseudo-bulb.
