36. G. reflexus, Herbert. — A form of G. nivalis from Mount 

 Gargarus, with very small flowers, the inner segments reflexed 

 at their apices. 



37. G. Scharloki, Caspary. — A very distinct variety of G. 

 nivalis, having large twin spathes of leafy texture, and small 

 flowers marked with greenish lines near the apices of the sepals. 



Fig. 32.— G. Scharloki. 



It is easily recognised by the large and leafy twin-spafche, and by 

 its outer sepals being marked with three to five green suffused 

 lines near their apices, the inner petals having a bold green delta 

 with a pyramidal point over the sinus (fig. 32). No two spathes 

 are quite alike ; sometimes they split to the base and recurve, 

 others are wholly, or in part, united along one of their edges.
