Scape stout, 8'-2o' high, its upper scales lanceolate, the lower sheathing and truncate or acute. Raceme 4'-7' long, 8-12-flowered; flowers large, brownish purple, 1' high or more; pedicels short, stout; sepals and petals narrowly elliptic, obtuse or acutish, spreading, striped with purple veins, 6"-o/' long, longer than the broad lip; middle lobe of the lip rounded or crenulate, the lateral ones shorter, rounded; column slightly spreading at the summit, shorter than the lip; capsule ellipsoid, nearly 1' long, the fruiting pedicels 4"-$" long. In rich woods, North Carolina to Kentucky, Missouri, Florida, Mississippi and Texas. Aug. Sub-class 1. DlCOTYLEDONES. Embryo of the seed with two cotyledons (in a few genera one only, as in Cyclamen, Pinguicula and some species of Ranunculaceae and Capnoldes), the first leaves of the germinating plantlet opposite. Stem exogenous, of pith, wood and bark (endogenous in structure in Nymphaeaceae), the wood in one or more layers surrounding the pith, traversed by medullary rays and covered by the bark. Leaves usually pinnately or palmately veined, the veinlets forming a network. Parts of the flower rarely in 3's or 6's. Dicotyledonous plants are first definitely known in Cretaceous time. They constitute between two-thirds and three-fourths of the living angiospermous flora. Series 1. Choripetalae. Petals separate and distinct from each other, or wanting. The se
