Abstract
THE enclosed photograph represents, I believe, a species of Italian orchid which has not before been discovered. M. H. Correvon, who is, I suppose, the greatest living-authority on the European orchids, considers it “seems to be out of the way of species known”. When first I found it, I believed it to be Serapias triloba, but, having studied various authorities, I have since come to the conclusion that I was wrong. They all agree that the lip of triloba is crenulated, but in my specimen there is no sign of that Triloba is considered to be a hybrid between Serapias lingua and Orchis papilionacea; although the ground was covered with the former, I could not find a vestige of the latter in the whole of that district.
