 The firft fort grows naturally in fome fhady woods in 

 the north of England. I found it in the park of Bo- 

 rough-Hall, in Lancafliire, the feat of the late Robert 

 Fen wick, Efq; It hath a root compofed of many 

 ilefhy fibres, from which arife, in the fpring, two, 

 three, or more flalks, in proportion to the ftrength 

 of the root ; thefe grow nine or ten inches high, and 

 are garnifhcd with oval fpear-fhaped leaves, having 

 a few longitudinal veins ; in the bofom of one of the 

 upper leaves is inclofed the flower-bud, which is 

 fupported by a flender foot-ftalk, which generally 

 turns a little bud on one fide. The flower hath four 

 dark purple petals, placed in form of a crofs, which 

 fpread wide open. In the center is fituated the large 

 hollow ne£tarium, almoft as large as a bird's egg, 

 Ihaped like a wooden fhoe, of a pale yellowifh co- 

 lour, with a few broken Ilreaks •, the opening is co- 

 vered with two ears-, the upper one is tender, white, 

 and fpotted with purple -, the lower is thick, and of 



n herbaceous colour. The flov/ers appear about the 

 end of May, and the flalks decay early in autumn. 

 The fecond fort gi-ows naturally in Virginia, and 

 otlier parts of North America-, this hath longer and 

 fmoother leaves than the formerV ,The two fide pe- 

 tals of the flower are long, narrow, and terminate in 

 acute points, and are wreathed, or undulated on their 

 fides. The neftarium is oblong, and narrower than 

 in the firft fort, and is yellow, fpotted with brownifh 

 red. The flalks rife near a foot and a half high. 

 The third fort grows naturally in America, where 

 the inhabitants call it Moccafin Flower ; this rifes a 

 foot and a half high. The leaves are of an oblong 

 oval form, and are deeply veined. The flower is large, 

 of a reddifh brown colour, marked with a few purple 

 Veins. ' This fort flowers in the end of May. ■ 

 All thefe forts are with difficulty prefer ved in gar- 

 dens ; they muft be planted in a loamy foil, and in a 

 fituation where they may have the morning fun only. 

 They mufl be procured from the places where they 

 naturally grow, for they cannot be propagated in gar- 

 dens. ' The roots fhould be feldom removed, for 

 tranfplanting them prevents their flowering.
