5-5-34 between the stones. Plant has a dull gray-green effect, glabrous. Lowest leaf tiny (9 x 9 mm or less). The upper lo (21 x 14 mm) shaped as in III. Stipules 5-8mm, not nearly ½ as long as petiole. Fls much smaller than V. silvestris or rather bright blue (instead of violet). The spur thickish, yellowish, growled, decidedly longer than calyx-appendages. Stems far from erect (this in either flexuate or ascending not evident when studied). Style glabrous, hardly enlarged (whed blue) at top with a very short upward directed scale. This ident- ification is correct acc to SVK unless R.B.K. is mistaken in thinking there is no central rothe. 5-5-34 Orchis nutulata L. Cost III 397, Box 311, BVH 489 = O. nutulatus L. SVK 758 Fl.
