Stamens t\vice shorter than the cah-x,yellow, numerous, slightly connected at the base: anthers- continuously terminal, compressedly oval, recurved, dis-charging the pollen by a marginal fissure. Germens 3, white,smooth, ovate, surmounted by a caudately continuousstyle equalling the stamens, and terminated by a simplestigmatose point. We have seen no specimen much abovea foot high, nor with mare than one flower on a stem. « Calyx and stamens, b The three 283 LIMODORUM falcatum. Sickle-leaved Limodorum GYNANDRtA MONOGYNIA.
