Having the habit of Goodyera, bearing a basal rosette of Lvs. with an erect fl.-st. terminating in a raceme or spike of fls.: sepals similar, spreading; petals smaller, often pubescent; labellum generally convex with incurved margins, not spurred, entire or 3-lobed; column short.—About 30 species, mostly in the North Temperate Zone in Eu., Asia and N. Afr., the greater number being found in the Medit. region. Cult, as for habenaria.

		+	Aceras anthropophora. Br. Advertised as Ophrys anthropophora, Linn. Man Orchis. St. about 9 in. high, the spike being 2-4 in. long: Lvs. ovate to oblong or lanceolate: fls. dull yellowish green; sepals and petals converging over the column: labellum much longer than the sepals; aide lobes long, narrow, and the middle lobe split into 2 narrow lobes.' Early summer. Pastures. S. Eu. Ophrys differs from Aceras in having a very convex labellum. Both genera are distinguished from Orchis by the absence of a spur.—O. etrusca, Hort., and O. Grampinii, Hort., are hybrids between O. aranifera and O. tenthredinifera.
		+
		+	The name Ophrys is used by some botanists to replace Listera (p. 1891); in that case, the synonymy of the listeras becomes:
		+
		+	O. convallarioides, Wight (Listera convallarioides, Torr.).—O. cordata, Linn. (Listera cordata, R. Br.).—O. Smallii, House (Listera Smallii, Wiegand). Similar to O. convallarioides: Lvs. ovate-reniform, borne at or below the middle of the St.: raceme loose, few-fld., lip ¼ in. long, not ciliate, broadly ovate, cleft at the apex; ovary glabrous. Mountains of Pa. to N. C.
