as the Professor says, in his letter, that the roots were sent 

 by Mr. Blair from Canada at the end of 1819, together with 

 those of Calypso americana, Arethusa bulbosa, and Calo- 

 pogon pulchellus (Limodorum tuberosum, Bot. Mag. 116); 

 all of which flowered the following" year. 



Nuttall describes the bractes as being- at the summit of 

 the peduncle ; that they were nearer the middle in our plant 

 might perhaps be occasioned by its having been flowered 

 under a frame. The same author remarks that he has scarcely 

 ever seen any plant, the flower apart, which so imposingly 

 resembled Campanula rotundifolia. We have often been 

 struck by a similar resemblance in habit between other species 

 of these two genera. 



Native of Canada and New York in North America, and 

 therefore no doubt perfectly hardy. Not recorded in the 

 Catalogue of the Kew garden and probably now first intro- 

 duced into Great-Britain.
