In shady sphagnous woods, about Montreal, Canada. 

 M'Kenzie. If.. May. v. v. Flower small, petals 

 greenish-brown ; lower lip white, with crimson 

 veins 5 of a very singular structure, resembling at a 

 front view a sheep s head, the two lateral petals form- 

 ing the iiorns. i he stem is pubescent, not a span 

 high ; leaves smooth, in general alternately by tour. 

 It distinguishes itself very strongly from all the rest

 its lower lip.

 among the inhabitants by the name of Mocassim 

 Flower, or sometimes Ladies Slippers.
