Obs. This species more nearly resembles M. monophjllos, 
Lindl. Gen. ^Sj). Orchid, p. 19. {Ophrys mo7wphyUus, Linn.) 
than any other with which I am acquainted. That species, 
however, differs from our plant, in its much longer pedicels 
and bracts, and also in the form of the lip, the auricles of 
which, in M. mo^iopltyllos, are directed forward. I am not 
certain that these characters are constant.
