Valley of the Tula (a damp form) Schott, Also
No 762 Wrights Col. of 1849.
{ Var aristulata for in Mupfles Rep. should be
cancelled as that the arms in all our species
are nearly twice the length of the palea. }

The typical form, which is common in collections
made further north, does not occur in any
of those of the Boundary. The variety has much
shorter & more closely flowered spikes forms lip
nearly half the length of the palea.

Wright No 2027.
Our few specimens of this fine species have
better shorter spikes than that figured in HBK,
distinguished at sight from either of the above
named species by its much longer arms & the
copious long white hairs of the margin &
tips of the fertile palea
