May 24 1862. O. ustulata. Mr Malden. The caudicle is depressed symmetrically over the viscid disc

As far as I can make out, the ends of pollinia glance off bases of anther cell & strike the 2 lateral stigmas perhaps moths do not insert quite symmetrically but they must nearly symmetrically, as labellum deeply furrowed.

I looked at vast number of O. aranifera extremely few pollinia removed. I could not clearly detect gnawing or penetration of labellum. Stigma is much overarched & lies rather concealed.

May 24th. Orchis ustulata - I have looked again, certainly caudicle where depressed as in line of long axis of disc. The 2 discs are embedded parallel

I can only guess glance off & thus strike stigma [illeg] say do not understand.

Act of depression very like in O. conopsea, by depression of uniting in front - heel part longer than in O. conopsea.
