Perennial. — Flowers in June and July. 
Root of two roundish, unequal knobs or bulbs, furnished at the 
top with a few longish, fleshy fibres. Stem from 6 to 12 inches 
high, round, leafy. Leaves spear-shaped, sheathing the stem. 
Floral-leaves (bracteas ) strap-spear-shaped, longer than the ger- 
mens. Calyx-leaves ( sepals ) widely spreading, oblong-egg- 
shaped, concave, of a pink or rose colour, with the keel, and two 
nerves green. Petals very small, oblong, bluntish, convex, 
spreading, greenish, hairy on the inner surface. Lip ( libellitm , 
or nectary ) large, prominent, tumid, or inflated, very much re- 
sembling a small humble-bee, scarcely so long as the calyx ; its 
disk smooth and polished, dark brown, variously marked witli 
yellowish, angular, or curved lines and spots ; the margin in five 
shallow reflected lobes, of which the two uppermost are pro- 
minent, and very hairy above, like the thighs of a bee ; the two 
next dilated, thin, and rounded ; the terminal one elongated, 
awl-shaped, acute, somewhat recurved at the point. Style or 
Column green, vaulted, with a sharp incurved, hooked point above 
the anther. Cells of the anther 2, strap-shaped, considerably 
distant from each other, above the stigma. Pollen-masses yellow, 
with long taper stalks. Capsule large, witli thick prominent ribs. 
The flower of this species so nearly resembles a small humble bee, that it 
might at a very short distance be mistaken for one. 
A variety with a white. flower has been found by Dr. Pulteney at Bordean, 
Hampshire, and by Miss Ultiioff, near Ilalesworth, Suffolk.
