specimens collected. Plants range from 15-35 cm with 25 cm as usual height. Infl about 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 cm Lips 7.5 x 7.5 mm, 3 mm at base the edges not curving outwards as in O. maculata. These straightish lines inside and the straight lines in flesh dots are arranged to give the lips an elongated effect quite different from O. maculata and O. latifolia (5-25-34). In all cases reach to infl but often above, RkX is hollow. In Infl (esp lower ones a little broader above) as in all cases unsatisfactory in these spec. pressed) Fls pinkish purple (sometimes tones of a sort I marked not pale but never what R would call flesh coloured. Beside O. maculatus & spica both pinkish shiny, this lot of specimens vary in colour somewhat.) Agrees with ill in Correys Alb. de Uchdeis (3rd Ed 1923) Pl XLIX except that fls are more violet (this is pink).] #872 ?Urelis maculata. Fl. Marsh. Villeneuve or southward. Lvs suggest O. mac. in shape, spreading leaf but the upper most reach above base of infl. Fl shaped and marked like O. mac but much deeper purplish in colour (almost identical in colour to O. latifolia) Lvs with a very few obscure dots & spots. 5-25-34
