HISTORY OF THE COUNTY BOTANY OF WORCESTER. Mau., 1892. 
* Epipactis latifolia. 6, 14, 54, Severn D. 68, Silurian Hills at 
WestMalvern. 82, near Tedstone. 101, Broadway. 115, Lickey. 
128, Ham Dingle, near Pedmore. Tab. 27. In all the 
districts. 
Next to E. latifolia three other species or sub-species have been noted 
in English floras , viz. :— 
E. media, Fries. 
E. purpurata, Sir J. E. Smith. 
E. violacea. Boreau and Durand-Desqueuay. 
These plants are very diflicult to distinguish, and it seems certain 
that there are only two of them. Mr. Lees unites media with 
purpurata. 
* E. purpurata, Smith, or E. media, Fries. 19, 54, Nunnery Wood, 
Wor., Mr. Thomas Baxter, 1849. 68, Silurian Hills of 
Malvern. Tab. 27. In all the districts. I think it probable 
that E. purpurata should be divided between media and violacea. 
Mr. Baxter's original specimens from Nunnery Wood were named 
E. purpurata by Professor Babington. That name has now dropped 
out of the Manual, eighth edition, p. 350, but Professor Babington 
has since assured me that the plant belongs to E. violacea. On 
the other hand, Mr. Hanbury, in the eighth edition of the London 
Catalogue, admits only E. latifolia, E. media, and E. pur¬ 
purata. For E. media see “ Mid. Nat.,” Yol. XIII., p. 258. 
* E. palustris. 5, 6, 59, Wyre Forest. 82, near Tedstone. Query
