t. 289. 
Old fir forests in the north, and especially in the N. Highlands of 
Scotland (near Fullarton House, Ayrshire, introduced but now 
naturalized). If. 3. — Leaves mostly radical. Stem a span high, 
bearing bracteiform leaves. Flowers small, white. Column very short. 
Pollen-masses broadly oval, composed of large granules. 
III. Anther 1 , attached to the apex of the column. Pollen- 
masses granular : pollen in a lax state of cohesion (fari- 
naceous), or collected into small granules or lobes (riot 
waxy), elastically cohering (sectile). Aretiiuse.t:. 
8. Epipogium Gmel. Epipogium. 
Perianth resupinate. Sepals nearly equal, spreading. Lip 
superior, 3-lobed, with an inflated short spur. Column with the 
stigma at the base in front. Pollen-masses 2, sectile, stalked ; 
the stalks attached to a triangular gland. Ovary straight (not 
twisted). — Name: t-m, upon (or uppermost), and nwywv, a

lobes of the lip small, patent ; terminal one large, entire, concave, 
studded with raised points in lines, furnished at the base with an in- 
flated and ascending spur. Column short, bearing the large stigma in 
front. Anther sunk in a cavity at the top of the column, 2-celled; 
cells opening longitudinally. 
IV. Anther 1, adnate to the face of the stigma. Pollen-masses 
granular; pollen cohering in an indefinite number of 
finally waxy granules or lobes, attached by an irregular 
elastic cellular tissue along the axis of the pollen-mass 
(sectile). Ophrydeje. 
9. O'rchis Linn. Orchis. 
Lip spurred. Glands of the stalks of the pollen-masses con- 
tained in a common little pouch. — Name: opxic, an ancient
