H4 THE ORCHIDS OF NEW ENGLAND. smaller flowers less conspicuously notched and fringed, while there is a variety, kolopetalay that has these adornments re- duced to a minimum. H. blephariglottis closely resembles its gayer sister in appearance and structure, and by reason of its- purity is quite as fascinating. Gray considers these species to be " chiefly remarkable for having their viscid discs projecting much more even than in H. orbiculata, the anterior part of the anther-cell and the supporting arm of the stigma united tapering and lengthened to such a degree that the viscid discs are as if raised on a pedicel, projecting consider- ably beyond the rest of the column. The anther-cells are nearly horizontal, greatly divergent, but inclined somewhat inward at the ends; so that the discs are presented forward and slightly inward, at least in H. blephariglottis, or in H. ciliaris more directly forward. Evi- dently these projecting discs are to be stuck to the head of some nectar-suck- ing insect. The stigma, which is rather small, is between the lateral arms, in the same horizontal line with the discs: the discs are small but quite sticky and di- rectly affixed to the extremity of a stalk which in just proportion to the forward elongation of the anther-cell, etc., is re- markably long and slender, twice or thrice the length of the pollen-mass it bears. Upon removal, a slight bending or turning of the slender stalk brings the pollen-mass into posi- tion for reaching the stigma. The discs in ordinary flowers of H. ciliaris, are about a line and a half apart (the English line is the twelfth part of an inch), the slender spur an inch long,
