Hab. Canada, ( GoWie) to Carlton House Fort, on the Saskatchawan. Dr Richardson. — The Z. Cor- 

 reana differs in no respect from our European L, Loeselii. The American plant is indeed often much 

 larger, (I have specimens more than a span high,) but Dr Richardson's specimens do not exceed ours.

' Hab. Lake Huron, (Br Torf^) throughout Canada, {Cleghorns Mrs Sheppard,) to the Saskatchawan. 

 Br Richardsoiu Brummond. Bouglas. Newfoundland. Miss Brenton. — Copious specimens which I pos- 

 sess of this plant, from the above localities, precisely accord with our European C. innata, A small slender 

 species, about a span high. 



2. C. multijlora (Nutt. Journ. Ac. Nat. Phil. 3. p. 138. t. 7.); scapo niulti-( 15-30)-

 nato. Hook. Exot. FL t. 174. C. innata. Nutt. Gen. 2. p. 197. {Jide Nuttall.). 



Hab. Canada. Cleghom. Dr Todd. Mrs Sheppard. Lady Balhousie. New Brunswick. Mr Kendall. 

 Columbia and Observatory Inlet. N. W. America. Bouglas and Dr Scouler. — Much larger and stouter 

 than the preceding, with which it had been confounded by Nuttall ; a foot and more high, with more numerous 

 flowers, and an evident spur, but adnate with the ovary, 



3. C. Mertensiana (Bong. Veg. Sitcha, p. 47.); scapo multi-(10-20)-floro5 labello 

 ovato-oblongo subemarginato, prope basin dente incurvo utrinque instructo, calcare 

 subelongato omnino libero. 



Hab. N. W. America. Sitcha, Bongard. Fort Vancouver and Nusqually. Dr Scolder and Tolmie. 



Habit and size of the preceding, yet very different. It is generally more slender, the sepals and petals 

 much narrower ; but the most distinguishing feature is the very evident spur to the base of the lip, not at all 

 adnate with the ovary.
