Gen. Char. Perianthium J, (calyx and corolla) (figs. 1 & 2.) 
superior. Sepals (see fig. 1. & fig. 3, a, a, a.) 3, egg-shaped, con- 
cave, spreading, nearly equal, permanent ; the two lateral ones 
somewhat dilated at the outer margin, and meeting under the lip. 
Petals (see fig. 3, b, b.) 2, smaller than the sepals, upright, con- 
verging under the upper sepal, and about the same length. Lip 
( nectary ) (see fig. 3, c.) without a spur, as long as the petals, pro- 
minent, inflated and inversely egg-shaped beneath, lying on the 
two lateral sepals, and terminating above in an oblong, acute, 
undivided point, shorter than the inflated part on which it lies. 
Jlnthcr (see fig. 3, d. & fig. 4, e.) roundish, parallel to the stigma, 
and fixed to its upper part behind, of two parallel cells close 
together, depositing the inversely egg-shaped, granulated masses 
of pollen upon the summit of the stigma (fig. 4, e). Germen (see 
figs. 1 and 2.) inversely egg-shaped, angular, incurved. Style 
( column ) (fig. 4, d.) taper, distinct, with two teeth at the apex. 
Stigma prominent, roundish. Capsule (fig. 6.) nearly elliptical, 
angular, furrowed. Seeds very numerous. 
The herbaceous, spreading, egg-shaped sepals; the upright 
petals ; the succate, entire lip, without a spur; the anther of 
2 cells close together, parallel with the stigma ; and the sessile, 
granulated pollen-masses ; will distinguish this from other genera 
in the same class and order. 
One species British.

Satyrion. 
Spec. Char. Lower leaves egg-shaped, petiolated. Sepals, 
Petals, and Lip, egg-spear-shaped. Root creeping.
