admirably delineated by Mr Linpuey in his Collectanea Bo- 
tanica. In neither of these plants, however, does there exist 
any remarkable peculiarity within the lip of their flowers, 
whereas in the present species, there are large, pellucid, elon- 
_ gated glands at the base, and 2 white tubercles near the extre- 
mity of that part. The leaves are very singular, also, in the 
G. procera, springing from the stem, and lengthened out into 
a decided petiole at their base, which gives an aspect to the 
whole individual very unusual in the Orchis tribe. : | 
Sent by Dr Waxuicu to the Botanic Garden at Liver- 
pool, and thence to me, in a flowering state, in the month of 
March 1822. The blossoms are quite destitute of scent.
