Asa Gray's observations on the rostellum of Gymnadenia are very imperfect, yet worth looking at. From Wordnik.com. [More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2] Reference
I have mentioned your observations on rostellum, and asked him to look closer to the case of Gymnadenia. From Wordnik.com. [More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2] Reference
Certainly, if I may trust the vessels, the simple labellum of Gymnadenia consists of three organs soldered together. From Wordnik.com. [More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2] Reference
Fingers was given to them from the pale palmate roots of some of the species (O. latifolia, O. maculata, and Gymnadenia conopsea), and this seems to have been its more common name. From Wordnik.com. [The plant-lore & garden-craft of Shakespeare] Reference
But here comes my only point of novelty: in all orchids as yet looked at (even one with so simple a labellum as Gymnadenia and Malaxis) the vessels on the two sides of the labellum are derived from the bundle which goes to the lower sepal, as in the diagram. From Wordnik.com. [More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2] Reference
It is curious in Gymnadenia to trace the middle anterior bundle in the ovarium: when it comes to the orifice of the nectary it turns and runs right down it, then comes up the opposite side and runs to the apex of the labellum, whence each side of the nectary is supplied by vessels from the bundles, coming from the lower sepals.
