Orchis fusca and militaris, according to Salisbury, succeed best in chalky soil, free from all manure 
whatever ; but they will endure more moisture than would be supposed ; for he found them in a vei-y wet part 
of the meadow below the terrace, at Mill Hill, where they had, no doubt, been planted by Mr. Peter Collinson. 
Gymnadenia conopsea affords another singular instance of this sort, which is found growing wild on the driest 
limestone, mixed with Anacamptis pyramidalis, and in bogs where one can hardly tread, mixed with Epipactis 
palustris. 
1860. Nigritella. So named by M. Richard, from niger, black, in allusion to the color of the flowers. 
1861. Habe)iaria. From habena, a thong or rein, on account of the long spur of the flower, which resembles 
something of that sort. Most of the species have white flowers, and natives of America. Some have bright 
yellow flowers, others purple ones. 
1862. Bartholina. Named in honor of Thomas Bartholini, a Danish physician, who flourished at the end 
of the seventeenth century. A small Cape plant, with a beautifully fringed white flower. 
1863. Glossula. So called by Mr. Lindley, from yXoa-ira., a tongue, in reference to the tongue-like segments 
of the labellum. An obscure Chinese plant, with pale green minute flowers. 
1864. Anacamptis. From a,vce.xce.pi^7CTM, to bend back, in allusion, it is presumed, to the reflexed edges of the 
appendage of the pollen-masses. In all respects similar to Orchis in habit. It is the Orchis pyramidalis of 
Linnasus. 
1865. Accras. From a, without, and •x.is^at,?, a horn, in allusion to the absence of the spur from the labellum, 
by which character it is chiefly distinguished from Orchis. Aceras anthropophora is difficult to cultivate. It 
can only be propagated by seeds, which thrive best in a mixture of sand, loam, and chalk. 
1866. Ophrys. From the Greek word c<povg, which signifies an eye-lash, to which the delicate fringe of the 
mner sepals may be very well compared. O. apifera is a singularly beautiful plant, not uncommon on calcareous 
soils, near woods, and in open meadows. It ripens seeds plentifully, as will all the species, if care be taken, as
