number of the Mémoires du- Muséum, separates the Ophrys 
Loeselit of Linnzus, undoubtedly a congener of our plant, 
from Malaxis, and proposes to make it a new genus under the 
name of Liparis. | 
Mauaxis Lifolia is a native of North America, growing 
in shady wet woods, round the roots of trees, from Canada 
to Virginia.. The first account we have of it as an inhabitant 
of our gardens is from the pen and pencil of Enrer, the 
celebrated botanical draughtsman, who, in the Philosophical 
Transactions for ¥763, has described and-given a good igure 
of it, as cultivated in the garden of Perer Coutinson, Esq. 
Thrives best in bog-earth, in°a@ moist shady sitnation. 
Flowers in Juve and July. Our drawing was taken, sevéral 
years ago,: froma plant communicated by Messrs. -Lopbiees 
and Sons... We have received it also this year from. Messrs: 
latcoum, of Kensington-Gore. :
