GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
Lower leaves narrow, a span long, the upper very small. Spike rather 
dense, two to three inches long, bracteal leaves shorter than the germ. 
Flowers white, lip longer than the interior segments of the perianth. Geni- 
taliferous column comparatively small, the pollinia consequently nearly ses- 
sile. Nutt. 
Grows near St. Mary’s, Georgia. Described by Mr. Nuttall from speci- 
mens collected by Dr. Baldwin. I have specimens which appear to agree 
with this species in which the horn is generally twice as long as the germ.

Stem about twelve inches high, glabrous, slender. Leaves lanceolate,

the spike; sometimes though rarely two large leaves are found upon the 
stem. Flowers in a short, rather compact spike, small. Petals nearly 
equal, ovate, obtuse. Labellum longer than the petals, slightly three-tooth- 
ed at the summit. Horn longer than the germ, conspicuously thickened at 
the end. ( Corolla white, Pursh.) 
Grows in the middle and upper districts of Georgia and Carolina.
