A singular and rare little European Umbellifer, allied to 

 Astrantia in habit, but differing in the terete fruit. It is 

 a native of mountain regions in Northern Italy, and in 

 Austria, from Silesia to Carinthia and Transylvania. 

 Et was named Hacquetia by Necker, in commemo- 

 ration of the botanist, Balthasar Hacquet, author of 

 " Plantae Alpinas CarniolicaB " (Vienna, 1782). The specific 

 name of Epipactis owes its origin to Lobel, who first 

 figured the plant, having likened it to Helleborus niger, 

 the Eleborine of early herbalists, and eViTra/cTis of 

 Dioscorides.
