Roots of this curious little plant were collected in Ca- 
nada, by Mr. David Douglas, for the Horticultural Society, 
and flowered in an open border in the Garden at Chiswick 
in August 1824, at which time our drawing was made. 
It is a very distinct species^ much smaller than any other 
published kind, and easily recognised in any state by its 
elegant little pendulous white^d pink flowers. .
