41. THE GENUS SARCOGLOTTIS. 
In Presl’s reliquiae Hsenkeanae was proposed a genus of 
Orchidaceous plants called Sarcoglottis, which was reduced in 
the Genera and Species of Orchidaceous plants to a section of 
Spiranthes. Dr. Klotzsch having however expressed his opi- 
nion that it really is distinct, chiefly upon the ground that the 
pollen-masses of Spiranthes are sessile while those of Sarco- 
glottis are stalked, and that in Spiranthes both sepals and 
petals spring directly from the top of the ovary, while in Sar- 
coglottis the two lateral sepals are decurrent in the form of a 
jE’ — 1843.
