On the high mountains of Pensylvania, in shady beech- 

 woods, among rotten wood and rich vegetable mould. 

 %. June— Sept. v. v. This singular species ditfers 

 from all the rest, in producing its flowers as it were 

 under ground, as they always are covered with rotten 

 wood or leaves ; they are of a chocolate brown, very 

 small; the seed-vessel buries itself still deeper in the 

 ground, and is large in proportion to the plant. The 

 inhabitants know it by the name of Heal-all, being 

 used by them in curing all kinds of wounds or sor.-s.
