of die afliftance of Mr. Brown, to detect what fpecies our 

 drawing reprefented. By a companion with the fpecimen in the 

 Eankfian Herbarium, and with one in our own, collected by 

 our friend, Mr. Menzies, in Nova-Scotia, we have no fu-fpi- 

 cion of a mifnomer; though the undulation of the lip of the 

 nectary, giving, in fome views of it, an appearance of its being 

 divided into lobes, might at full fight millead, as this part is 

 faid to be quite entire. 



There is a nearly-allied fpecies, the Ophrys aflivaUs of 

 Mich At! x ; it is pollible therefore that, in our fynonymy, the 

 two may have been fometimes confounded. 



Native of North -America, from Canada to Carolina. Flowers
