Root Stem about two feet high, entirely clothed with nurne- 
rous, oval-lanceolate, acute, glabrous leaves, sheathing at base. Leaves 
three to four inches long, nearly one and a half wide. Flowers scattered in 
a long terminal spike. Bracteas about the length of the germ, ovate-lance- 
olate, slightly acuminate. Three exterior segments of the perianth ovate, 
somewhat acute, concave; of the interior the two lateral biparted, the upper 
segments small, the lower linear or setaceous, as long as the segments of the 
labellum. Labellum three-parted, the lateral segments setaceous, longer 
than the middle one which is also very narrow. Horn twice as long as the 
germ, somewhat thickened towards the point. 
This plant is to me very rare.- I have only met with it once or twice, 
and then in dry pine barrens — near Beaufort. 
Flowers August — October. 
Lip 3-parted, lateral 
segments setaceous; 
interior petals 2-part- 
ed, the lower segment 
setaceous, nearly twice 
as long as the exterior 
petal; horn twice as 
long as the germ; 
leaves oval-lanceolate; 
bracteas acuminate.
